Great and Noble Lines
View through CrossRef
This chapter compares David Drake to George Moses Horton. Like Dave the Potter, Horton is a once-forgotten African American author who was living and writing in the South during the slave era. Barrett historicizes Horton’s formalism as a poet to reveal the racial and social underpinnings of his aesthetic. The fact that Horton’s poems were regularly commissioned by the slave-owning gentry of his region gives us a comparable model with which to comprehend the unexpected leniency shown Dave the Potter. Beyond the similarities, Barrett traces compelling differences between Horton and Drake, advancing, while also considering the limits of, a comparative approach to Dave the Potter.
