Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl
Harriet Jacobs Writing as Linda Brent
""It has been painful to me, in many ways, to recall the dreary
years I passed in bondage. I would gladly forget them if I could.
Yet the retrospection is not altogether without solace; for with
these gloomy recollections come tender memories of my good old
grandmother, like light fleecy clouds floating over a dark and
troubled sea.""
One of the most memorable slave narratives, Harriet Jacobs's
"Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl "illustrates the overarching
evil and pervasive depravity of the institution of slavery. In
great and painful detail, Jacobs describes her life as a Southern
slave, the exploitation that haunted her daily life, her abuse by
her master, the involvement she sought with another white man in
order to escape her master, and her determination to win freedom
for herself and her children. From her seven years of hiding in a
garret that was three feet high, to her harrowing escape north to a
reunion with her children and freedom, Jacobs's "Incidents in the
Life of a Slave Girl" remains an outstanding example of one woman's
extraordinary courage in the face of almost unbeatable odds, as
well as one of the most significant testimonials in American
history.
