Abstract
A literary textual criticism is presented of multiple editions (multi-editions) of the 1853 African American novel "Clotel; Or, The President’s Daughter: A Narrative of Slave Life in the United States," by William Wells Brown. The changes in the depiction of the heroism of white and African American abolitionists in subsequent editions of the book, including of the fictitious white abolitionist Henry Morton in the book, are discussed.
