More on "Missing Passage"*

My column last Sunday was about a fascinating article in the Journal of American History titled "'The Cause of Her Grief': The Rape of a Slave in Early New England," by a Yale grad student in history, Wendy Anne Warren. It won Warren a prize in 2006 for best essay by a history graduate student, and appears in the latest issue of the JAH.

The journal's editors have kindly agreed to make the article available to non-subscribers. Here it is -- for those left wanting more after reading my brief summary.

*Nice headline, by the way, editors.
