"The most definitive collection of anti-slavery sentiment in verse yet compiled, essential reading for historians and literary critics alike. . . . A major contribution."--Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Harvard University "An astounding literary and editorial achievement."--David Blight, Yale University "Comprehensive. . . . The illuminating introduction . . . sets forth, economically and helpfully, the larger historical context (material, religious, legal, political) that gave rise to these poems. . . . (Basker's) list of bibliographical sources . . . makes the book of permanent scholarly value. . . . The historical interest [of Amazing Grace ] is exceptional."--Helen Vendler, New Republic "Monumental in scope, vision, and editorial skill."-- Choice "A big, moving book, vital reading for any student of the subject."--Hugo Worthy, Antiquarian Book Review " Amazing Grace adds incomparably rich sources to our understanding of the cultural changes in the Anglo-American world that made antislavery movements both possible and eventually effective."--David Brion Davis, Yale University
