New Hannah Crafts Book
You haven’t heard the last of The Bondwoman’s Narrative. Hannah Crafts, the woman who is believed to have written the novel, is the subject of a forthcoming book that will try to elucidate her identity.
I’m quite curious about Crafts, since I was never fully convinced by Henry Louis Gates’ process of authentication, especially after a Princeton student noticed passages that are remarkably similar to Dickens’ Bleak House, something that had eluded the esteemed professor.
