Seven noted scholars examine slave narratives and the topic of slavery in American literature, from Frederick Douglass's Narrative (1845)-- treated in chapters by James Olney and William L. Andrews-- to Sheley Anne William's "Dessa Rose" (1984). Among the contributors, Arnold Rampersad reads W.E.B. DuBois's classic work "The Souls of Black Folk" (1903) as a response to Booker T. Washington's "Up from Slavery" (1901). Hazel V. Carby examines novels of slavery and novels of sharecropping and questions the critical tendency to conflate the two, thereby also conflating the nineteenth century with the twentieth, the rural with the urban.

"Slavery was a defining characteristic of Roman social, economic, and cultural life from the Republican period to Late Antiquity. Slaves are pervasive in the historical record, appearing in brothels, at the theatre, in the amphitheatre, in the homes of the wealthy and on the farms of the surrounding countryside. Their place and influence in the literary history of the Latin-speaking world demands attention as well and this thesis will offer a discussion on the significance of slavery within two seemingly dissimilar texts: Vergil’s Georgics and St. Augustine’s Confessions. Vergil fashions the narrative of his didactic poem around shifting focalizations, forcing the reader to approach the agricultural world from many and varied perspectives, from the divine, to human beings, oxen, plants, soil, and tools. This presents a narrative wherein all elements of the agricultural world are become interconnected through a relationship of violence and domination. The personification and anthropomorphism of these disparate elements in combination with the slave language consistent throughout the poem, however, makes clear that Vergil is not presenting simply a violent world but the enslavement of all aspects of the farmer’s world. In a similar fashion, Augustine anchors his Confessions around the internal enslavement he experienced in his journey towards conversion. Augustine finds himself in bondage to his carnal and earthly desires and ambitions which distract him from the spiritual path he will eventually take. This slavery is located entirely in the spiritual sphere and hinges upon the inner immaturity, the pueritia, of Augustine that persists long after his maturation in the external world. Slavery for both Vergil and Augustine is an issue of understanding the nature of things, for Augustine, the nature of the human soul and for Vergil, the nature of an imagined Roman world after the rise of Octavian to the principate. Slavery links these two authors and will provide the foundation for future studies of literary slavery throughout the Latin canon"--

The distinguished classicist William Fitzgerald examines the concept, value and practice of variety in Latin literature and its reception. He argues that variety was an important value in ancient aesthetic discourse and played a significant role in thinking about, among other things, nature, rhetoric, pleasure and empire. Fitzgerald explains how a discourse of variety passed from Latin writers into the post-classical world up to the modern age, in which words like choice and diversity have taken over its work, though with associative meanings that are much different."

Replete now with its own scholarly traditions and controversies, Roman slavery as a field of study is no longer limited to the economic sphere, but is recognized as a fundamental social institution with multiple implications for Roman society and culture. The essays in this collection explore how material culture – namely, art, architecture, and inscriptions – can illustrate Roman attitudes towards the institution of slavery and towards slaves themselves in ways that significantly augment conventional textual accounts. Providing the first interdisciplinary approach to the study of Roman slavery, the volume brings together diverse specialists in history, art history, and archaeology. The contributors engage with questions concerning the slave trade, manumission, slave education, containment and movement, and the use of slaves in the Roman army.

This book studies a crucial phase in the history of Roman slavery, beginning with the transition to chattel slavery in the third century bce and ending with antiquity’s first large-scale slave rebellion in the 130s bce. Slavery is a relationship of power, and to study slavery – and not simply masters or slaves – we need to see the interactions of individuals who speak to each other, a rare kind of evidence from the ancient world. Plautus’ comedies could be our most reliable source for reconstructing the lives of slaves in ancient Rome. By reading literature alongside the historical record, we can conjure a thickly contextualized picture of slavery in the late third and early second centuries bce, the earliest period for which we have such evidence. The book discusses how slaves were captured and sold; their treatment by the master and the community; the growth of the conception of the slave as “other than human,” and as chattel; and the problem of freedom for both slaves and society.
