Correction

In the previous issue of Early American Literature (vol. 55, no. 2), due to an oversight during production, an acknowledgment note and revised biographical note added by Ajay Kumar Batra were not included in the published article. They have been added in the online versions of the article and read as follows:

I acknowledge debts of gratitude to the following readers for commentary and conversations that shaped this article profoundly: Shoshana Adler, Aaron Bartels-Swindells, Elias Rodriques, Gabriel Salgado, Clinton Williamson, David Kazanjian, Chiming Yang, the stalwarts of Penn's American Literature Working Group, comrades at the Tepoztlán Institute, and above all Ana Schwartz. I am also deeply grateful for the thoughtful guidance of Lauren Coats, Steffi Dippold, and two anonymous reviewers, as well as for the efforts of the EAL editorial team.

ajay kumar batra is a doctoral candidate in English at the University of Pennsylvania and, for 2019–20, a Hamer Dissertation Fellow at the McNeil Center for Early American Studies. He studies the connected histories of chattel slavery, emancipation, and abolition in the United States and the British West Indies. His dissertation elaborates the heterodox visions of abolition that enslaved and formerly enslaved people generated in their writings and in their everyday lives.
