Anatomy of an Afterthought: Charles Kingsley, the “Accursed Slavery Question,” and the Quadroon's Function in Two Years Ago (2013)
A literary criticism of the book Two Years Ago by Charles Kingsley is presented. It considers the influence of the book "Uncle Tom's Cabin" by Harriet Beecher Stowe upon Kingsley's development of a subplot featuring an escaped slave. Other topics considered include nineteenth-century notions of medicine, the transmission of disease, and sanitation.
