Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this project is to explore the possibility that antislavery literature in mid-nineteenth-century America has formed a literary genre, by examining various antislavery texts published in that era. Considering the great impact of Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin," this study focuses on the novel and its influence on other stories and documents. As a result of this study, it has becomes evident that the antislavery literature can be a new important genre of American literature which includes far more works than expected, going beyond racial, gender, and class differences, and many works that have been neglected. The perspective of this study, antislavery literature, provides us with a possibility to revise the literary canon of what we call American Renaissance which has been traditionally predominated by male white authors since F. O. Matthiessen's classical book, "American Renaissance," was published in 1941.
