	Barbary Captivity Narratives (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Commenting on the Indian captivity narrative by the slave Briton Hammon, John Sekora, has suggested that the "eighteenth-century tale of Indian captivity is easily turned to the nineteenth-century story of southern bondage.
		The Indian captivity narrative, American slave narrative, and Barbary captivity narrative form a nexus of highly charged texts that bear witness to a legacy of conquest, slavery, religious intolerance, as well as the evolution of racial typology.
		The existence of the Barbary captivity narrative which preceded the Indian captivity narrative, however, suggests a modification of their formula, that captivity narratives asked their readers to imagine being English in Africa or the Americas.

		This port was so much the more formidable that the name of Algerine came to be used as synonymous with Barbary pirate, but the same trade was carried on, though with less energy, from Tripoli and Tunis—as also from towns in the empire of Morocco, of which the most notorious was Salé.
		Religious orders—the Redemptionists and Lazarists — were engaged in working for the redemption of captives and large legacies were left for that purpose in many countries.

	American slave in 1790s Algiers - The Washington Times: Fiction Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		All credit is due the Modern Library Classics' editors for having resurrected a most curious and intriguing novel, Royall Tyler's "The Algerine Captive: Or, The Life and Adventures of Doctor Updike Underhill," in which America's first encounter with a hostile Muslim nation — Algeria — is depicted.
		Underhill's captivity lasts seven years, during which he endures being sold in a slave market and doing heavy manual labor to being treated reasonably well after his talents as a doctor come to light.
		In the end, "The Algerine Captive" is a strange but engaging work that introduces Americans to a culture no less mysterious in many ways than it was 200 years ago.

		Captivity tales exerted a significant influence on the novel, observes James D. Hartman in Providence Tales and the Birth of American Literature (John Hopkins U. 99), but there was a still older ancestral literary type: stories of supernatural occurrences on earth.
		These providence tales, epitomized by witchcraft relations of demonic possession (captivity), mutated as their English authors combined the tradition of recounting miraculous occurrences with the empiricism of the new science in order to convince an increasingly skeptical readership.
		James Printer, a converted Native American who had been taken captive by other Nipmuck Indians, tried to negotiate the release of Mary Rowlandson and later set type for her captivity narrative.

	[No title]
		If the orthodox captivity formula is unified in its attempt to conserve an American Providence then Underhill's narrative is marred by vocal slippage between piety and heresy, and generic slippage between captivity and "competing" genres, most notably the travel narrative.
		And despite G. Thomas Tanselle's early suggestion that volume I is "reminiscent...of an Indian captivity narrative," most subsequent explorations of the novel's ironies (including subtle and instructive readings by Dennis, Davidson, and Engell) have not yet accounted for Tyler's subversion of the captivity narrative and the cultural work performed by that genre.
		The captivity narrative provided a vital function to both the Puritan settlers and the fledgling nation; it affirmed links between the worlds of matter and spirit and fueled a national sense of millennial destiny.

	The Fundamentalism of Meaning \| William Rodney Herring
		The Algerine Captive is…one of the first attempts by an American novelist to depict the Islamic world, and lays bare a culture clash and diplomatic quagmire not unlike the one that obtains between the United States and Muslim nations today.
		Were I to pursue this line of argument, I would look back at all the The Algerine Captive’s epigraphs that insist upon the value of Truth over the appearance of Truth (the classical battle between philosophy and rhetoric).
		The inability to (yet) locate the complementarity between, say, piracy and capitalism, isn’t reason for believing The Algerine Captive expresses good will or vituperation toward the Algerines, nor that it employs their system of slavery for its own (domestic) emancipatory purposes, nor that it does anything it thinks it does.

	Captive Audiences
		The history of national identity in the United States has been deeply impressed by captivity narratives in which an individual is removed from her or his home and struggles to return.
		The course begins by acknowledging the standard definition of the "captivity narrative" genre: a narrative by a Euro-American woman of frontier settlement who relates her capture by Indian "savages," her experience in captivity, her escape, and eventual restoration into her proper society.
		We will discuss the historical context in which various kinds of captivity narratives were written, published and read, tracing the themes of "home," "captivity," and "return" from the seventeenth century to the years just before the American Civil War.

		Each story highlights the personal effects of war, "rebellion," and captivity; each addresses the boundaries of race, class, or caste as well.
		But in these three anecdotes a number of possible godly responses to politicized difference are modeled, from the subversive humanity of Ebedmelech to the wise governance of Abraham.
		For example, he encourages his audience to "weep with those that weep" (5) and refers to the rescue of "the captives among the Algerines" (17), which Hall might have known from Susanna Rowson's Slaves in Algiers (1794), Royall Tyler's The Algerine Captive (1797), or published variants thereof.

	Johns Hopkins University Press \| Books \| Master Plots
		Early American writers were drawn to fantasies of an "American race," and an American literature came to be defined not only by its desire for cultural uniqueness but also by its defense of racial purity.
		Gardner follows the shifts in American narrative's engagement with race, from Royall Tyler's Algerine Captive through the novels of Brockden Brown and Cooper, to Poe's tales and Douglass's autobiographies, narratives that differently sought to rewrite the intersections of racial and national identity the first generation had plotted.
		The larger story Master Plots describes is how the racial language of "slavery" and "savagery" helped nationalist writers plot a unique identity for the new nation and the cost this "master plot" exacted when the empty rhetoric of one generation confronted the historical facts of slavery and Native American Removal in the next.
