Giới thiệu tác giả
Frederick Douglass (c. February 1818 – February 20, 1895), born Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey, was a seminal American social reformer, abolitionist, orator, writer, and statesman. After escaping from slavery in Maryland, Douglass became a national leader of the abolitionist movement in Massachusetts and New York, gaining note for his oratory and incisive antislavery writings. Accordingly, he stood as a living counter-example to slaveholders' arguments that slaves did not have the intellectual capacity to function as independent American citizens. Douglass wrote several autobiographies, which described his experiences in slavery and his life after the Civil War, including the 1845 bestseller 'Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave,' which was influential in promoting the cause of abolition and solidifying Douglass's place in American history. His collection 'The Speeches & Autobiographical Writings of Frederick Douglass' encompasses a span of writings and speeches that articulate his thoughts on abolition, equality, and human rights, showcasing his unique literary style — a blend of fierce rhetoric, personal experiences, and a profound understanding of the sociopolitical contexts of the times. Douglass's works remain critically important in the study of American literature and history, as they provide a powerful, firsthand account of the cruelty of slavery and the struggle for freedom.
