An Abridged, Modernized Edition of Narrative of a Five Years Expedition Against the Rev
Herausgeber: Price, Richard; Price, Sally

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This abridgement of the Prices' acclaimed 1988 critical edition is based on Stedman's original, handwritten manuscript, which offers a portrait at considerable variance with the 1796 classic. The unexpurgated text, presented here with extensive notes and commentary, constitutes one of the richest and most evocative accounts ever written of flourishing slave society.
