A good edition of the text with a careful and contextualizing introduction. If you're interested in reading the narrative, this is a worthy edition, complete and unabridged. The edition of "A True Tale of Slavery" by John S. Jacobs isn't necessarily a reason to pick up this edition though--if you've read any other slave narratives from the male perspective, his won't provide anything new, either materially or historically. It's not a bad read, but it's nothing new if you're familiar with the more cannonized works within the genre of slave narratives either. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

THIS EDITION HAS BEEN REPLACED BY A NEWER EDITION .This enlarged edition of the most significant and celebrated slave narrative now completes the Jacobs family saga, surely one of the most memorable in all of American history. John Jacobs's short slave narrative, A True Tale of Slavery, published in London in 1861, adds a brother's perspective to Harriet Jacobs's own autobiography. It is an exciting addition to this now classic work, as John Jacobs presents additional historical information about family life so well described already by his sister. Importantly, it presents the people, places, and events Harriet Jacobs wrote about from the different perspective of a male narrator. Once more, Jean Yellin, who discovered this long-lost document, supplies annotation and authentication. She has also brought her Introduction up to date. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
