Reviews
"Furman University English professor Hecimovich (Puzzling the Reader) delivers a captivating biography of Hannah Crafts. Part literary detective story, part suspenseful escape narrative, this impressive account ties together its many disparate threads into a riveting whole. It's a must-read." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "An absorbing work of historical and literary excavation." -- Kirkus Reviews "The Life and Times of Hannah Crafts may be one of the most important case studies ever written in how to search for and find an unknown author from clues she left in her fiction and from fleeting traces of her in family archives and memories. For two decades after Henry Louis Gates, Jr. discovered The Bondwoman's Narrative, Gregg Hecimovich pieced together historical fact and fictionalized versions to situate Hannah Crafts in a particular family of enslavers. Gregg's dramatic findings verifying Gates's discovery are clarifying, thrilling, and provocative, demanding we return to The Bondwoman's Narrative anew." -- Hollis Robbins, author of Forms of Contention: Influence and the African American Sonnet Tradition "Decades of sleuthing in the archives yielded the astonishing finds that lie behind The Life and Times of Hannah Crafts, Gregg Hecimovich's spellbinding new biography. At once a mystery, a thriller, and an elegy, this book is a riveting reconstruction of the life--and literary influences--of the author of The Bondwoman's Narrative (1858), the first novel written by a Black woman in the United States." -- Jill Lepore, author of Book of Ages: The Life and Opinions of Jane Franklin

Synopsis
Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Biography Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award for Biography A groundbreaking study of the first Black female novelist and her life as an enslaved woman, from the biographer who solved the mystery of her identity, with a foreword by Henry Louis Gates Jr. In 1857, a woman escaped enslavement on a North Carolina plantation and fled to a farm in New York. In hiding, she worked on a manuscript that would make her famous long after her death. The novel, The Bondwoman's Narrative, was first published in 2002 to great acclaim, but the author's identity remained unknown. Over a decade later, Professor Gregg Hecimovich unraveled the mystery of the author's name and, in The Life and Times of Hannah Crafts, he finally tells her story. In this remarkable biography, Hecimovich identifies the novelist as Hannah Bond "Crafts." She was not only the first known Black woman to compose a novel but also an extraordinarily gifted artist who honed her literary skills in direct opposition to a system designed to deny her every measure of humanity. After escaping to New York, the author forged a new identity--as Hannah Crafts--to make sense of a life fractured by slavery. Hecimovich establishes the case for authorship of The Bondwoman's Narrative by examining the lives of Hannah Crafts's friends and contemporaries, including the five enslaved women whose experiences form part of her narrative. By drawing on the lives of those she knew in slavery, Crafts summoned into her fiction people otherwise stolen from history. At once a detective story, a literary chase, and a cultural history, The Life and Times of Hannah Crafts discovers a tale of love, friendship, betrayal, and violence set against the backdrop of America's slide into Civil War., Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Biography Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award for Biography A groundbreaking study of the first Black female novelist and her life as an enslaved woman, from the biographer who solved the mystery of her identity, with a foreword by Henry Louis Gates Jr. In 1857, a woman escaped enslavement on a North Carolina plantation and fled to a farm in New York.

- c***r (547)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoBook exactly as specified, rapid international delivery (USA to UK), and a reasonable price for an out-of-print book. I was also very pleased and reassured by the quality of packaging for the book. It arrived in a cardboard box, and inside, it had brown paper to pad out the box, plus brown paper around the book to further protect it. This meant the book survived international shipping in great condition. On that basis, I highly recommend this seller.
