The Passing of Grandison information


"The Passing of Grandison" was first collected in The Wife of His Youth and Other Stories of the Color Line (1899).

"The Passing of Grandison" is a short story written by Charles W. Chesnutt and published in the collection The Wife of His Youth and Other Stories of the Color-Line (1899).[1] The story takes place in the United States in the early 1850s,[2] at the time of anti-slavery sentiment and the abolitionist movement in the Northern United States, and after the passage of the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850.

In Chesnutt's story, the aspect of racial passing is addressed on both a narrative and textual level in order to illustrate a "destabilization of constructs of race, identity, and finally of textuality itself".[3]
