-Descripcion Original:

The degradations, the wrongs, the vices, that grow out of slavery, are more than I can describe.Harriet Jacobs was born a slave in the American South and went on to write one of the most extraordinary slave narratives. First published pseudonymously in 1861, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl describes Jacobss treatment at the hands of her owners, her eventual escape to the North, and herperilous existence evading recapture as a fugitive slave. To save herself from sexual assault and protect her children she is forced to hide for seven years in a tiny attic space, suffering terrible psychological and physical pain.Written to expose the appalling treatment of slaves in the South and the racism of the free North, and to advance the abolitionist cause, Incidents is notable for its careful construction and literary effects. Jacobss story of self-emancipation and a growing feminist consciousness is the tale ofan individual and a searing indictment of slaverys inhumanity. This edition includes the short memoir by Jacobss brother, John S. Jacobs, A True Tale of Slavery.ABOUT THE SERIES:For over 100 years Oxford Worlds Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.
