It features literary phenomena with influence and themes so great that, after their publication, they changed literature forever. From the musings of literary geniuses like Mark Twain in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn to the striking personal narrative of Solomon Northup in Twelve Years a Slave, this new series is a comprehensive collection of our history through the words of the exceptional few.One of the only surviving female slave narratives from the twentieth century, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl is an autobiographical account written by Harriet Jacobs. The narrative documents the extreme adversity she overcame before she eventually achieved her freedom. Born into slavery, young Harriet was taken into the care of her mothers mistress, who treated her relatively well. However, a few years later, the mistress passed away and her cruel, abusive relatives inherited Harriet.Under the pseudonym "Linda Brent," Jacobs recounts within the book the horrific injustices she encountered: sexual abuse, extreme cruelty, exploitation, being denied motherhood when her children are sold to another slave owner. In Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, Harriets agonizing descriptions are indicative of what many other enslaved African American women suffered through during this tragic time in American history.Published in 1861, just on the brink of the Civil War, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl is a harrowing literary work bringing to light the courage, empowerment, and perseverance a young slave found in her desperate search for freedom. Author Biography Harriet Jacobs was an African American writer born February 11th, 1813, in Edenton, North Carolina. She spent a large portion of her life enslaved, which evidently provided the stories for her memoir Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl. The book was published in 1861 and received initial acclaim in a few favorable reviews, though the start of the war and her publisher declaring bankruptcy quickly doused the marketing flame. Years later, it was rediscovered when progress started to occur within civil rights and an interest developed in female and minority writers. It was later heralded as a classic work. Jacobs passed away in 1897 in Washington, DC.
