Book Overview
"The Torch; Eight Lectures on Race Power in Literature" presents a series of lectures delivered by George Edward Woodberry at the Lowell Institute of Boston in 1903. Woodberry, a notable literary critic and poet, explores the concept of 'race power' as manifested in various works of literature.

Woodberry examines how racial identity shapes the themes, characters, and narratives within literature. This collection provides a valuable resource for understanding historical attitudes toward race and the role of literature in reflecting and reinforcing societal beliefs. Scholars of literary criticism, American history, and race studies will find this work a compelling examination of the intersection of race and literature during a pivotal period in American intellectual history.
