Abstract
formally enslaved people offer insights into how high the stakes were in the debate about the role of fiction. Koenigs offers delightfully close readings apace and is as animated about lesser known texts as he is about much discussed works like Harriet Jacobs’s Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl (1861), and he folds these more obscure works into his argument without the smug tone of having “recovered” or, worse, “discovered” a forgotten work.
