This second edition of Douglass's Narrative reprints this
classic document together with speeches and letters, all in
a volume designed for undergraduate students. An extensive
introduction places the Narrative in its historical and
literary contexts with annotations on needed background. Born into slavery from a white father, Frederick Douglass
secretly taught himself to read and write--a crime
punishable by death--and thus passed on to us this eloquent
indictment of the institution of slavery.
