The essays are interconnected by Davis's central concern with violence, irrationality, and the definition of moral limits during a period when Americans believed they were breaking free from historical constraints and acquiring new powers of self-perfection. Topics range from a socially revealing murder trial in 1843 to debates over capital punishment, movements of counter-subversion, the iconography of race, the cowboy as an American hero, the portrayal of violence in American literature, the historiography of slavery, and the British and American antislavery movements.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Brion Davis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0195054180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195054187\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/24\/1988\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.36h x 7.00w x 0.79d","brand":"David Brion Davis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44119402873087,"sku":"9780195054187","price":88.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dc7b3ca1-a804-4028-8bb8-82744723b7a3.jpg?v=1687409164","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-homicide-to-slavery-david-brion-davis-9780195054187","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
