The historical and literary importance that slave narratives—the
autobiographical accounts written by formerly enslaved people in
the United States and throughout the Atlantic world in the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries—wielded in their own time and
continue to wield in ours is difficult to overstate. Popular and
widely read on both sides of the Atlantic, slave narratives played
an indispensable role in the campaigns against slavery in Britain
and the United States and in the development of a black literary
tradition, and they continue to be widely read and to shape popular
understandings and memories of slavery today. "Only By Experience":
An Anthology of Slave Narratives collects, in whole or in part,
sixteen of the most significant and influential slave narratives.
Based on material from the acclaimed Broadview Anthology of British
Literature and Broadview Anthology of American Literature, the
anthology includes works from the British empire as well as the
United States and puts classic examples of the slave narrative
genre in conversation with works that raise questions about how the
genre is defined. The anthology also features thorough headnotes
and annotations for each work, as well as detailed contextual
materials for many of the works included.
This compact guide brings together entries from the glossaries of a
variety of different Broadview publications-including The Broadview
Anthology of British Literature and The Broadview Anthology of
Short Fiction-and adds a number of new entries. The result is a
volume packed with concise definitions of a wide variety of terms
commonly used in academic discussions of poetry, fiction, drama,
rhetoric and literary theory. Definitions are kept concise;
examples are abundant.
