Notes: Harriet Ann Jacobs was born a slave in North Carolina in 1813 and became a fugitive in the 1830s. She recorded her triumphant struggle for freedom in an autobiography that was published pseudonymously in 1861. As Linda Brent, the book s heroine and narrator, Jacobs recounts the history of her family: a remarkable grandmother who hid her from her master for seven years; a brother who escaped and spoke out for abolition; her two children, whom she rescued and sent north. She recalls the degradation of slavery and the sexual oppression she suffered as a slave woman: the master who was determined to make her his concubine, his jealous wife, the future congressman who fathered her children but broke his promise to set them free. She also portrays a supportive black community, both slave and free, and sympathetic whites. Incidents is the major antebellum autobiography of a black woman. With Frederick Douglass s account of his life, it is one of the two archetypes in the genre of the slave narrative.
