Abstract:"My Bondage and My Freedom, the second autobiography of Frederick Douglass, focuses on his life as a slave, and the years after. It also describes his early travels and acquaintances, and the abolitionist movement. In his lifetime, Frederick Douglass became nationally prominent as an abolitionist, author, and speaker. This Norton Critical Edition includes the original text and appendix of My Bondage and My Freedom, which includes several letters and excerpts. "Contexts" provides readers with influences, such as memoirs and slave narratives. This section allows the reader to envision how the memoir as a literary format could be used to elicit change and opinion. "Criticism" provides readers with contemporary and modern perspectives on My Bondage and My Freedom, and addresses the author's style, thoughts on law and slavery, and man in relation to his environment. A Chronology and Selected Bibliography are also included"--
