Book summaryThis is a long overdue "cultural biography"--the exploration of a culture through an individual life--of Lydia Maria Child, a novelist and an adamant abolitionist who espoused a multiracial vision of America and proposed that blacks be educated. The author, who among other things, wrote the children's song, "Over the River and Through the Woods," explores the boundary between Child's life and her work. This volume covers Child's childhood through her literary accomplishments and antislavery protests. |
