Frederick Douglass, once a slave, was one of the great 19th century
American orators and the most important African American voice of
his era. This book traces the development of his rhetorical skills,
discusses the effect of his oratory on his contemporaries, and
analyzes the specific oratorical techniques he employed. The first
part is a biographical sketch of Douglass's life, dealing with his
years of slavery (1818-1837), his prewar years of freedom
(1837-1861), the Civil War (1861-1865), and postwar years
(1865-1895). Chesebrough emphasizes the centrality of oratory to
Douglass's life, even during the years in slavery. The second part
looks at his oratorical techniques and concludes with three
speeches from different periods. Students and scholars of
communications, U.S. history, slavery, the Civil War and
Reconstruction, and African American studies will be interested in
this book.
