As the coeditor of this volume, my tasks have been fairly specific and predictable: I have provided editorial feedback to the contributors, served as a liaison between scholars and press, and written this introductory essay.

Descripción de contraportada

Harriet Jacobs, today perhaps the single most read and studied black American woman of the nineteenth century, has not--until now-been the subject of sustained, scholarly analysis. This anthology presents a farranging compendium of literary and cultural scholarship that is sure to become the primary resource for students and teachers of Jacobs's Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl. The contributors include both established Jacobs scholars and emerging critics; the essays take on a variety of subjects from Incidents, treating representation, gender, resistance, and spirituality from differing angles.
