The powerful story of slavery that has become a classic of American
autobiography, in an authoritative edition "This edition is the
most valuable teaching tool on slavery and abolition available
today. It is exceptional."-Nancy Hewitt, Distinguished Professor
Emerita, Rutgers University The autobiography of Frederick Douglass
(1818-1895), Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An
American Slave, is widely regarded as a classic of American
nineteenth-century 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 Douglass's 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 Press's multivolume edition of the Frederick Douglass
Papers, is the only edition of Douglass's Narrative designated as
an Approved Text by the Modern Language Association's Committee on
Scholarly Editions. It includes a chronology of Douglass's life, a
thorough introduction by the eminent Douglass scholar John
Blassingame, historical notes, and reader responses to the first
edition of 1845. "None so dramatically as Douglass integrated both
the horror and the great quest of the African-American 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 introduction
