Abstract

Two main teaching tools reach out from Dear Master. One is technical, the other substantive. The technical tool forms a prod, urging students to use standard English. Several unvarnished copies of the actual slave and ex-slave handwriting accompany the printed renditions. The grammar appears with all of the original folksiness, in stark contrast to what is today acceptable even in non-standard-English environments.
