Blake; or, The Huts of America is a groundbreaking novel that tells the story of Henry Blake's escape from a southern plantation and his journey across the United States, into Canada, and to Africa and Cuba.

This edition, prepared by textual scholar Jerome McGann, offers an accurate text, contextual notes and commentaries, and an authoritative account of the work's composition and publication history.
