The Cambridge Companion to English Literature, 1830–1914 ed. by Joanne Shattock (review)

to political events, specifically the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 and the KansasNebraska conflicts that followed. Newman also provides useful history on the reception of Uncle Tom’s Cabin, the political importance of a closet drama in Britain, and the function of camp meetings in nineteenth-century America. Overall, this fine collection of essays expands our understanding of the transatlantic anti-slavery movement and the varied roles dissenting women played within it. A welcome addition to university libraries as well as scholars’ personal bookshelves, the collection’s clear prose and concise arguments make it approachable for scholars in literary studies, history, and the humanities.
