- Title
"Here, I Could Rove at Will": Harriet Martineau, Sartain's Union Magazine, and Freedom in the Transatlantic Periodical Press.
- Authors
Adams, Amanda
- Abstract
This essay examines a series of articles by Harriet Martineau published in the Philadelphia-based Sartain's Union Magazine of Literature and Art. Looking beyond their explicit subject of Lakeland tourism and natural beauty, I argue that the series advances a vision of embodied freedom, not just for women like Martineau but for American slaves. She not only donated some of her earnings from the series to two American anti-slavery publications but also obliquely engaged with the intersectional issue of freedom for women and slaves in the content of the narrative.
