Résumé : The Uncalled tells the story of Frederick Brent, a man abandoned by his father and orphaned at an young age, who sees himself thrust into religious life by his devout guardian despite his lack of vocation for it. The Uncalled was Paul Laurence Dunbar's first novel. It was neither a critical nor a commercial success, as it was overshadowed by his more successful novel The Sport of the Gods.
Biographie : Paul Laurence Dunbar was born at 311 Howard Street in Dayton, Ohio, on June 27, 1872, to parents who were enslaved in Kentucky before the American Civil War. After being emancipated, his mother Matilda moved to Dayton with other family members, including her two sons Rrt and William from her first marriage. Dunbar's father Joshua escaped from slavery in Kentucky before the war ended. He traveled to Massachusetts and volunteered for the 55th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, one of the first two black units to serve in the war. The senior Dunbar also served in the 5th Massachusetts Cavalry Regiment. Paul Dunbar was born six months after Joshua and Matilda's wedding on Christmas Eve, 1871.
