Description
Jordan-Lake begins by considering the male plantation literary tradition and then demonstrates how white women novelists of the anti?Uncle Tom school adopted characteristics from sentimental fiction, emulating Stowe?s own strategies more than those of their male allies. But contrary to their intent, Jordan-Lake shows, their works succumb to evasions, displacements, and contradictions that disrupt their surface narratives and reveal even their most noble women characters as mere pawns in a patriarchal game in which white society?s pursuit and maintenance of wealth are made to appear humane, even holy.
