Résumé

In "Sketches of Southern Life, " Frances Ellen Watkins Harper offers a poignant exploration of the intricacies of life in the antebellum South, using her keen observational skills and poetic sensibility to capture the lives of African Americans and their struggles. Written in a time when the voices of Black women were often marginalized, Harper's narratives reveal a rich tapestry of intersecting experiences'-celebrating resilience in the face of oppression.
Her use of vivid imagery and compelling characters demonstrates a mastery of literary style, positioning her work within the broader context of 19th-century American literature and emerging African American narratives. Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, a prominent abolitionist and poet, was deeply influenced by her own experiences as a free Black woman in a racially divided society.
