Description

Born into slavery in Maryland, Frederick Douglass's life story is a testament to the human spirit's capacity for resilience and determination. In this powerful narrative, Douglass recounts his experiences as a slave, his struggle to educate himself, and his fight for freedom, all with unflinching honesty and passion. Written with striking biblical imagery, Douglass's account of his life as a slave is a fundamental anti-slavery text that continues to appeal to readers today. This new edition of his Narrative includes expert introductions, voluminous notes, and extracts from his primary sources, providing a rich and nuanced understanding of the author and his work. For over 100 years, Oxford World's Classics has made available a broad spectrum of literature from around the globe, and this edition of Douglass's Narrative is no exception.
