This is a 1993 collection of fourteen essays by America's leading
historians and literary critics which evaluates the importance of
Frederick Douglass in his own day and on into the twentieth
century. As a result of the research and interpretation in both
literary and historical studies, Frederick Douglass has assumed a
central place in the revival of interest in the multicultural study
of American literature. His autobiographies are fundamental case
studies of the slave narratives that form the basis of
African-American culture. His remarkable achievements as
abolitionist orator, journalist, and writer of fiction and
historical essays have made him a pivotal figure in a variety of
disciplines. The essays examine Douglass' own views on gender and
class, as well as racial issues, and place his thought and writings
in the context of debates about slavery and freedom that dominated
the intellectual landscape of nineteenth-century America.
