Undisciplining: EBB and Slavery

Undisciplining: EBB and Slavery 

Emily Crider, Dino Franco Felluga, Kimberly Manganelli, Marjorie Stone, and Jerome S. Wynter

We collect here five poems about slavery that Elizabeth Barrett Browning (hereafter EBB) wrote over her career: her little-known juvenilia, “The African” (early 1820s), “The Appeal” (1833), “The Runaway Slave at Pilgrim’s Point” (1848), “Hiram Powers’ Greek Slave” (1850), and “A Curse for a Nation” (1856). Each of these has been annotated with the goal of facilitating discussions in the undergraduate and graduate classroom. 

The Beaver

The Hudson’s Bay Company first established The Beaver as a staff publication in the 1920s. By the 1930s, it had become a fully fledged magazine that served Canada’s broader public. In 1994, Canada’s National Historical Society acquired the magazine from HBC. Finally, in 2010, the magazine name officially changed to Canada’s History and the Beaver’s reign came to an end.
