Frederick Douglass was born a slave and lived to become a
best-selling author and a leading figure of the abolitionist
movement. A powerful orator and writer, Douglass provided a unique
voice advocating human rights and freedom across the nineteenth
century, and remains an important figure in the fight against
racial injustice. This Companion, designed for students of American
history and literature, includes essays from prominent scholars
working in a range of disciplines. Key topics in Douglass studies -
his abolitionist work, oratory, and autobiographical writings – are
covered in depth, and new perspectives on religion, jurisprudence,
the Civil War, romanticism, sentimentality, the Black press, and
transatlanticism are offered. Accessible in style, and representing
new approaches in literary and African-American studies, this book
is both a lucid introduction and a contribution to existing
scholarship.
