| Summary: | By applying the lens of values as means and ends, this essay examines the public letters of anti-slavery reformer Mary Ann Shadd. It focuses on the articulative nature of Shadd’s epistolary rhetoric, and the rhetorical power of the public letter to serve as a genre of conscience within public structures of exchange. In drawing critical attention to Shadd’s embrace of critique and dissent, the essay figures the public letter as a means and end for accomplishing the anti-slavery work of mediating a collectivity and articulating a transvaluation of values. |
