Description

This Norton Critical Edition includes: • Nick Bromell and R. Blakeslee Gilpin’s introduction to Frederick Douglass’s second autobiography, providing the deep contextualization teachers want and students need. • The first edition text (1855), accompanied by the editors’ detailed explanatory footnotes. • Twelve contemporary works that relate to My Bondage and My Freedom, including writings by Frederick Douglass, Benjamin Franklin, William Lloyd Garrison, Henry David Thoreau, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Harriet Jacobs. • Nineteen critical assessments of My Bondage and My Freedom—nine contemporary and ten recent interpretations—to inspire classroom discussion and research topics across the curriculum. • A chronology of Frederick Douglass’s life and work and a selected bibliography.
