Sobre este artículo
London: W. Tweedie, 1862. First British Edition. Very Good+. First British edition, first printing of the scarce feminist narrative of escape from slavery, and the first published slave narrative by a woman. 306 pp. In a recent half faux-leather over marbled boards, new endpapers. Very Good+. Former owner bookplate and penciled "[Linda M. Brent]" to front pastedown. Contents tanned, thumbed and sporadically spotted, with an occasional corner crease.
A truly scarce landmark of American literature, many times more rare in commerce and at auction than many of the 19th century ex-slave narratives with which is often compared such as Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. It was long thought to be fictional, utilizing the narrative techniques of the sentimental novel as it does and published under a pseudonym, until the 1980s when historian Jean Fagan Yellin established it was Harriet Jacobs' autobiography. In particular, the attention Jacobs called to the sexual abuse and exploitation of female slaves was quite ahead of its time, not to mention effective at making her abolitionist and feminist argument in a visceral way readers could not ignore. One of the major documents with which we understand the 19th century American experience.
