Probing the political and spiritual goals that fuel Dred's rebellion, Stowe creates a figure far different from the acquiescent Christian martyr Uncle Tom. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn his introduction to the classic novel, Robert S. Levine outlines the antislavery debates in which Stowe had become deeply involved before and during her writing of \u003ci\u003eDred\u003c\/i\u003e. Levine shows that in addition to its significance in literary history, the novel remains relevant to present-day discussions of cross-racial perspectives. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten partly in response to the criticisms of \"Uncle Tom's Cabin\" by both white Southerners and black abolitionists, Stowe's second novel, \"Dred,\" attempts to explore the issue of slavery from an African American perspective.
