About This Item
Charlottesville: Harvard University Press. Very Good. 1987. Softcover. Soft cover. 306 pp. Index. Illustrated. Slightly worn corners. Unmarked text. "Incidents is the major antebellum autobiography of a black woman. With Frederick Douglass's account of his life, it is one of the two archetypes in the genre of the slave narrative. Now, in this fully realized edition, Yelin identifies the people and places that Jacobs wrote about, presents new materials about Jacobs and her manuscript, including photographs and a selection of letters, and locates Incidents in relation to other literature. Yellin does full justice at last to this splended and moving work., a classic in American history and literature, of women's writings, and of the Afro-American experience." From the back cover. ; 8vo .
