A powerful orator and writer, Douglass provided a unique voice advocating human rights and freedom across the nineteenth century, and remains an important figure in the fight against racial injustice. This Companion, designed for students of American history and literature, includes essays from prominent scholars working in a range of disciplines. Key topics in Douglass studies - his abolitionist work, oratory, and autobiographical writings - are covered in depth, and new perspectives on religion, jurisprudence, the Civil War, romanticism, sentimentality, the Black press, and transatlanticism are offered. Accessible in style, and representing new approaches in literary and African-American studies, this book is both a lucid introduction and a contribution to existing scholarship. 410 0$aCambridge companions to literature. 606 $aAntislavery movements$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aAbolitionists$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aAfrican American abolitionists$vBiography 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations$xHistory$y19th century 615 0$aAntislavery movements$xHistory 615 0$aAbolitionists 615 0$aAfrican American abolitionists 676 $a326.092 702 $aLee$b Maurice S. 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996201151403316 996 $aThe Cambridge companion to Frederick Douglass$92493194 997 $aUNISA
