This is the first full-length narrative written by a former woman slave in America. It tells the story of Harriet Jacobs' early life as a slave in North Carolina, her fugitive years in the North, where she became an abolition activist, and her struggle for freedom, won in 1852. This text is a reprint of the 1861 edition, with explanatory annotations and an introduction. Readings offers contemporary responses to the narrative, related articles and letters by Jacobs, and documents tracing her life. There is also a collection of modern criticism of the narrative. McKay teaches American and African-American literature at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Foster teaches English and women's studies at Emory University. Annotation c.
