简介
编辑推荐

Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass was published as an anti

slavery tract. It was written as a testament by a slave.

On both scores, the book was a great success. The Boston Anti-Slavery Society published the book itself from its Boston office in the spring of 1845, and it proved to be one of the most persuasive of the many publications offered in an effort to win public support for the abolition of slavery. Douglass understood that this was why the book was published and was proud that it was to be so used.

内容推荐

Upon its publication in 1845, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, Written by. Himself became an immediate best-seller. In addition to its far-reaching impact on the antislavery movement in the United States and abroad,Douglass's fugitive slave narrative won recognition for its literary excellence, which has since earned it a place among the classics of nineteenth-century American autobiography. This Norton Critical Edition reprints the 1845 first edition of Douglass's compelling autobiography. Explanatory annotations accompany the text.

A rich selection of "Contexts" provides readers with contemporary perspective. Included are the little-known preface that Douglass wrote in 1846 expressly for the second Irish edition of his Narrative; a public exchange of letters between A. C. C.Thompson, a former slaveholder, and Douglass; three autobiographical portraits of Douglass's parents; Douglass's account of his escape from slavery, which he chose not to include in the 1"845 Narrative; samples of Douglass's use of his slave experience in two of his most influential antislavery speeches; and reminiscences of Douglass as both orator and friend by James Monroe Gregory and Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

"Criticism" collects six essential assessments of the Narratire's historical and literary significance by William S. McFeely,Peter Ripley, Robert B. Stepto, William L. Andrews, Houston A.Baker, Jr., and Deborah E. McDowell.

A Chronology and Selected Bibliography are also included.
