BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY:

Personal Memoirs

Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl
Harriet A. Jacobs
Edited by Jean Fagan Yellin
This enlarged edition of the most significant and celebrated slave narrative completes the Jacobs family saga, surely one of the most memorable in all of American history. John Jacobs’s short slave narrative, A True Tale of Slavery, published in London in 1861, adds a brother’s perspective to Harriet Jacobs’s autobiography. This is the standard edition of Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, reissued here in the John Harvard Library and updated with a new bibliography.
