This Companion examines the slave narrative's relation to British and American abolitionism, Anglo-American literary traditions such as autobiography and sentimental literature, and the larger African American literary tradition. Special attention is paid to leading exponents of the genre such as Olaudah Equiano, Frederick Douglass and Harriet Jacobs, as well as many other, less well known examples. Further essays explore the rediscovery of the slave narrative and its subsequent critical reception, as well as the uses to which the genre is put by modern authors such as Toni Morrison. With its chronology and guide to further reading, the Companion provides both an easy entry point for students new to the subject and comprehensive coverage and original insights for scholars in the field. 410 0$aCambridge companions to literature. 606 $aAmerican prose literature$xAfrican American authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnslaved persons' writings, American$xHistory and criticism 606 $aSlave narratives 615 0$aAmerican prose literature$xAfrican American authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnslaved persons' writings, American$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aSlave narratives. 676 $a810.9896073 702 $aFisch$b Audrey A. 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996214955403316 996 $aThe Cambridge companion to the African American slave narrative$92493223 997 $aUNISA
