"About Great Books," an increasingly influential site, has included Glymph's compelling and lyrical Out of the House of Bondage: The Transformation of the Plantation Household, published by Cambridge University Press, among the best books on slavery. Out of the House of Bondage remains a revelation; it offers many important insights into the history of race and gender, slavery and freedom, and class in nineteenth-century America. If you haven't yet had a chance to read it, this is a good time to do so!
