Perhaps the most famous treatment of the themes of Enslavement And Emancipation is in the 'Book of Exodus', but the two themes continue to be prominent in great literature today.
This title examines the themes of enslavement and emancipation in 'Beloved', 'The Death of Ivan Ilych', the speeches of Abraham Lincoln, 'A Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass', 'A Room of One's Own', the novels of Elie Wiesel, and many other notable works.
Featuring original essays and excerpts from previously published critical analyses, this addition to the Bloom's Literary Themes series gives students valuable insight into the title's subject theme.
