On March 11, 1854, the people of Wisconsin prevented agents of the federal government from carrying away the fugitive slave, Joshua Glover. Assembling in mass outside the Milwaukee courthouse, they demanded that the federal officers respect his civil liberties as they would those of any other citizen of the state. When the officers refused, the crowd took matters into its own hands and rescued Joshua Glover. The federal government brought his rescuers to trial, but the Wisconsin Supreme Court intervened and took the bold step of ruling the Fugitive Slave Act unconstitutional.The Rescue of Joshua Gloverdelves into the courtroom trials, political battles, and cultural equivocation precipitated by Joshua Glover's brief, but enormously important, appearance in Wisconsin on the eve of the Civil War.H. Robert Baker articulates the many ways in which this case evoked powerful emotions in antebellum America, just as the stage adaptation ofUncle Tom's Cabinwas touring the country and stirring antislavery sentiments. Terribly conflicted about race, Americans struggled mightily with a revolutionary heritage that sanctified liberty but also brooked compromise with slavery. Nevertheless, asThe Rescue of Joshua Gloverdemonstrates, they maintained the principle that the people themselves were the last defenders of constitutional liberty, even as Glover's rescue raised troubling questions about citizenship and the place of free blacks in America.

Si la question des rapports entre l’éthique et la littérature a longtemps été confinée dans les limites étroites de l’approche autoréférentielle du sens et des valeurs – la littérature n’avait de compte à rendre qu’à elle-même parce qu’elle était perçue comme un univers autonome, sans commune mesure avec celui de la communication ordinaire –, on commence aujourd’hui, à la suite des travaux des théoriciens de la réception, puis d’auteurs comme Ricœur (1986), Miller (1987), Booth (1988), Nussbaum (2010), Maingueneau …

Ces données du passé ont déja, semble-t-il, besoin de séquences séparées, vu l'âge des protagonistes vingt ans avant l'intrigue au présent, l'ordre social différent, les chevaux dominant encore les toutes premieres et cahotantes voitures a essence, et autres signes visibles de l'orientation du séparé a cette époque, a savoir la splendeur des Amberson au regard du peu d'éclat des Morgan. Car la question du visible domine le cinéma, qui y exprime le temps, cependant que le roman peut injecter dans la fluidité de l'écriture un régime disparate de l'image, et imposer un tempo subjectivé hors du visible : celui de la lecture. Ce n'est pas un hasard si romans et théátre ont hanté son cinéma : c'est que la dialectique du temps et de l'espace, certes inscrite dans le maniement spatio-temporel du plan-séquence, ne pouvait etre entierement lisible et accomplie qu'avec la puissance d'anticipation et de rappel, de répétition et de surplomb, que la voix comme telle introduit, a la fois liée et séparée de l'image, dans la compréhension des contradictions qui organisent la dramaturgie, et nous forcent a admettre ce qu'il y a d'implacable dans le monde, tel que l'art de Welles nous le présente.
