Antifanaticism: A Tale Of The South (1853) - Paperback

by Martha Haines Butt (Author)

Antifanaticism: A Tale Of The South is a novel written by Martha Haines Butt and published in 1853. The story is set in the southern United States and follows the life of a young woman named Lucy who is caught in the middle of the antebellum era's social and political turmoil. Lucy is a strong-willed and independent woman who rejects the traditional roles assigned to women in her society. She becomes involved in the abolitionist movement and is determined to fight against the injustices of slavery. However, her beliefs and actions are met with resistance from her family and community, who are staunch supporters of the institution of slavery. The novel explores themes of race, gender, and social justice, and offers a powerful critique of the fanaticism and intolerance that often accompany deeply-held beliefs. Through Lucy's journey, the novel ultimately advocates for a more nuanced and compassionate approach to understanding and addressing the complex issues of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
