Frederick Douglass Selected Works Collection : Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, My Bondage and My Freedom

In 1845, seven years after escaping to the North, he published Narrative, the first of three autobiographies. Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass is an memoir and treatise on abolition written by African-American orator and former slave Frederick Douglass during his time in Lynn, Massachusetts. This book calmly but dramatically recounts the horrors and the accomplishments of his early years-the daily, casual brutality of the white masters; his painful efforts to educate himself; his decision to find freedom or die; and his harrowing but successful escape. My Bondage and My Freedom is an autobiographical slave narrative written by Frederick Douglass and published in 1855. It is the second of three autobiographies written by Douglass, and is mainly an expansion of his first, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave. In this book, Douglass focuses his narrative on his transition from slavery to freedom, as well as examining the state of race relations and the politics of slavery leading up to the American Civil War. Following this liberation, Douglass went on to become a prominent abolitionist, speaker, author, and advocate for women's rights.
