À propos de ce produit
Product Information
In 1834 Harvard dropout Richard Henry Dana Jr. became a common seaman, and soon his Two Years Before the Mast became a classic. Literary acclaim did not erase the young lawyer's memory of floggings he witnessed aboard ship or undermine his vow to combat injustice. Jeffrey Amestoy tells the story of Dana's determination to keep that vow.

Reviews
Slavish Shore is the first new biography of Richard Henry Dana in over fifty years, and rigorous attention to Dana is long overdue. Amestoy is an excellent writer who takes us gracefully through Dana's fascinating life, providing much new insight into his defense of fugitive slaves and his work on the treason case against Jefferson Davis. It is an important story, very well told., Slavish Shore , Jeffrey Amestoy's superb new biography of Dana--the first in more than 50 years--should make many more people familiar with him... Slavish Shore presents an insightful portrait of Dana as a man as well as a lawyer...An excellent book--never tedious and often gripping--and Dana deserves our renewed attention., Slavish Shore , Jeffrey Amestoy's superb new biography of Dana-the first in more than 50 years-should make many more people familiar with him...

Amestoy is an excellent writer who takes us gracefully through Dana'e(tm)s fascinating life, providing much new insight into his defense of fugitive slaves and his work on the treason case against Jefferson Davis. It is an important story, very well told., How appropriate that the year 2015, the bicentennial of Richard Henry Dana Jr.'s birth, ushered in the publication of what will be considered for quite some time the definitive biography of the famed sailor, author, lawyer, and activist., Slavish Shore , Jeffrey Amestoy'e(tm)s superb new biography of Dana'e"the first in more than 50 years'e"should make many more people familiar with him'e¦ Slavish Shore presents an insightful portrait of Dana as a man as well as a lawyer'e¦An excellent book'e"never tedious and often gripping'e"and Dana deserves our renewed attention., Amestoy's biography is excellent: well written, comprehensive, empathetic, and well researched...Amestoy is at his best, better than any other biographer, when narrating Dana's role in several of America's crucial cases in which human rights were at risk and a moral compass was needed., Both a richly detailed biography of Richard Henry Dana and a snapshot of American life at the end of the age of sail, Amestoy's Slavish Shore is the perfect companion volume for anyone who has been captivated by Two Years Before the Mast . Amestoy's book follows Dana as he carries home the lessons he learned at sea and shocks the hidebound world of upper-crust Boston by standing up for the rights of seamen and fugitive slaves. But Slavish Shore also gives us the story of a private man caught in the sometimes suffocating atmosphere of family life, charting a haphazard course between independence and duty, ambition and disappointment., The strongest element of Amestoy's treatment in Slavish Shore is his dramatization of the intricacies and personalities of the growing Abolitionist fervor of Boston in the years of Dana's flourishing...A fine new biography., [ Slavish Shore ] is a meticulous, engaging, and informative study of Dana's life, which unequivocally defends its portrait of this significant American man of letters as an equally significant man of the law that will be of particular interest to both literary scholars and historians concerned with the intersections of maritime law, slavery, and aristocratic New England culture in the turbulent decades leading up to the Civil War.
