Webb's the Garies and their friends -- "A legally unmarried race": Frances Harper's marital mission -- Wedded to race: Charles Chesnutt's stories of the color line -- Conclusion: reading Hannah Crafts in the twenty-first century.Filling a long-standing gap in our knowledge about slave-marriage, 'Novel Bondage' unravels the interconnections between marriage, slavery, and freedom through renewed readings of canonical nineteenth-century novels and short stories by black and white authors. Tess Chakkalakal expertly mines antislavery and post-Civil War fiction to extract literary representations of slave-marriage, revealing how these texts and their public responses took aim not only at the horrors of slavery but also at the legal conventions of marriage.Slavery in literatureMarriage in literatureSlavesUnited StatesSocial conditionsAfrican Americans in literatureElectronic books.Slavery in literature.Marriage in literature.SlavesSocial conditions.African Americans in literature.813/.3093543Chakkalakal Tess893096MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457640903321Novel bondage1994751UNINA$42.0004/23/2016Eng
