The first play published by an African-American, this comic 1858
melodrama about two slaves who secretly marry explores the racial
tensions between North and South in the years just before the Civil
War. With its mix of action, comedy, social commentary and an
authenticity only a former slave could recreate, The Escape is
essential reading for students of black history and literature. It
is also a remarkable glimpse at characters and situations rarely
seen from the contemporary black perspective.Born into slavery,
American author WILLIAM WELLS BROWN (1814 1884) escaped to the
North where he became a prominent abolitionist lecturer, novelist,
playwright, and historian. His novel, Clotel: or, The President 's
Daughter, is considered by historians to be the first novel written
by an African American. His other works include The Negro in the
American Rebellion and The Black Man.
