The Rebellious Slave: Nat Turner in American Memory. By Scot French. (Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 2004. xii, 379 pp. $26.00, ISBN 0-618-10448-8.)

Broader in scope than Albert E. Stone's The Return of Nat Turner: History, Literature, and Cultural Politics in Sixties America (1992), Scot French's The Rebellious Slave is a packed, analytical survey of cultural products referencing or depicting Nat Turner, who in 1831 led an uprising of slaves in Virginia. This 379-page study has an introduction (pp. 1–6), five chronologically arranged chapters (pp. 7–277), an epilogue (pp. 278–82), and an appendix containing a reprint of Thomas R. Gray's 1831 The Confessions of Nat Turner. The acknowledgments (p. ix), notes (pp. 304–42), bibliography (pp. 343–52), and index (pp. 353–79) take up the remaining pages.
