America's Literature of Race and Freedom
Philadelphia Stories analyzes the narratives about race, character, manners, violence, and freedom that unfold across a range of texts written in and about Philadelphia between 1790 and 1860. A historic and symbolic city on the border between slavery and freedom, Philadelphia was home to one of the largest and most influential "e;free"e; African American communities in the United States. The city was seen by residents and observers as the stage on which racial character would be tested and a possible future for the United States after slavery would be played out. Otter argues that this setting produced a largely unacknowledged literary tradition of peculiar forms and intensities, in which verbal performance and social behavior assumed the weight of race and nation.
