Angelina Grimke: Rhetoric, Identity, and the Radical Imagination is the first full-length study to explore the rhetorical legacy of this most unusual advocate for human rights. Stephen Browne examines her epistolary and oratorical art and argues that rhetoric gave Grimke a means to fashion not only her message but her very identity as a moral force."
Historians approach the field of rhetorical criticism nervously, but they will find reading this book well worth the encounter. Browne's analysis transforms our understanding of Angelina Grimke's purposeful engagement of the rhetoric of confrontation, her rhetorical use of violence in antislavery discourse, and her emergence as a witness to the moral truths of her time. Lori D. Ginzberg Associate Professor of History and Women's Studies The Pennsylvania State University.
