Universally recognized today as one of the most important and
influential Americans of the nineteenth century, Frederick Douglass
rose to prominence in the national abolitionist movement before and
during the Civil War by virtue of the vividness and power with
which, drawing on his personal experiences of enslavement and
freedom, he spoke and wrote against American slavery and he
continued to propound his vision of an America that would afford
freedom, equality, and opportunity to all long after slavery was
formally abolished. This edition offers a selection of Douglass's
most significant writing and oratory from throughout his long
career, including the complete texts of Narrative of the Life of
Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, which has become a classic
example of the slave narrative genre, and The Heroic Slave,
Douglass's only published work of fiction, together with excerpts
from Douglass's other autobiographical writings and key speeches he
gave both before and after the Civil War. The edition also provides
clear and thorough annotations for the assistance of the student
reader and a range of contextual materials, including responses to
Douglass's Narrative and photographs of Douglass. As an
introduction to Douglass's life and work that balances breadth and
concision, this edition is well suited for a variety of
undergraduate courses in American history and literary studies.
This volume is one of a number of editions that have been drawn
from the pages of the acclaimed Broadview Anthology of American
Literature; like the others, it is designed to make a range of
material from the anthology available in a format convenient for
use in a wide variety of contexts.
