The powerful story of slavery that has become a classic of American autobiography, in an authoritative editionThis edition is the most valuable teaching tool on slavery and abolition available today. It is exceptional.Nancy Hewitt, Distinguished Professor Emerita, Rutgers UniversityNone so dramatically as Douglass integrated both the horror and the great quest of the AfricanAmerican experience into the deep stream of American autobiography. He advanced and extended that tradition and is rightfully designated one of its greatest practitioners.John W. Blassingame, from the IntroductionThe autobiography of Frederick Douglass (18181895), Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave, is widely regarded as a classic of American nineteenthcentury history, of African American studies, and of literature. In 1845, just seven years after his escape from slavery, the young Douglass published this powerful account of his life as a slave and his triumph over oppression. The book, which marked the beginning of Douglasss career as an impassioned writer, journalist, and orator for the abolitionist cause, reveals the terrors he faced as a slave, the brutalities of his owners and overseers, and his harrowing escape to the North.This edition of the book, based on the authoritative text that appears in Yale University Presss multivolume edition of the Frederick Douglass Papers, is the only edition of Douglasss Narrative designated as an Approved Text by the Modern Language Associations Committee on Scholarly Editions. It includes a chronology of Douglasss life, a thorough introduction by the eminent Douglass scholar John Blassingame, historical notes, and reader responses to the first edition of 1845.
