Romantic Reformers and the Antislavery Struggle in the Civil War Era - Kytle, Ethan J. (California State University, Fresno)

The first study of Romantic reform to focus squarely on this period, Romantic Reformers is an intellectual history of the American antislavery movement in the 1850s and early 1860s. It focuses on the ideas and actions of five Romantic reformers who became leading figures in the final years of the struggle against slavery.
