Sort    Sort    Professor Gerinza's most recent book, *Mr. and Mrs. Prince: How an Extraordinary 18th-Century Family Moved out of Slavery and into Legend* (2008) recounts the story of two former slaves, Abijah Prince and Lucy Terry Prince, of colonial Massachusetts and Vermont, who became landowners and public figures, successfully defending themselves in court. Her seven books, most of them historically-grounded biographical studies, have been widely reviewed. *Carrington: A Life* (1989) is the biography of Bloomsbury figure Dora Carrington. *Black England: Life Before Emancipation* (1995) was a *New York Times* “notable book of the year” and was published in America as *Black London*. *Frances Hodgson Burnett: The unexpected life of the author of The Secret Garden* (2004) was the first biography of Burnett in over thirty years and drew upon previously unseen caches of family letters and journals. She also is the editor of three books: *Black Victorians/Black Victoriana* (2003); the Norton Critical Edition of *The Secret Garden* (2005) and *The Annotated Secret Garden* (2007).
