"Mrs. A. E. Johnson's 'The Hazeley Family' (1894) is somewhat typical of the 'angel of the home' romances published by American women during the latter half of the nineteenth century-except that the author is a black woman, and her portrayal of the Hazeley Family is racially indeterminate, which in this country is generally translated as white."--Introduction.
