Professor studies slavery in American writings fellowship awarded
Mount St. Mary's College English professor Dr. Peter A. Dorsey received a 17,250 ACLS fellowship to pursue a book length study on the figuration of slavery in antebellum American literature. His work compares White and African American authors of 1830 to 1860, with focus on metaphorical uses of slavery and differing perspectives. Dorsey will extend a sabbatical during 1994 95.
