"My life, so full of romance, may sound like a dream to the matter-of-fact reader; nevertheless, everything I have written is stricktly true; much has been omitted, but nothing has been exaggerated." - from the Historical Introduction. "Behind the Scenes is an extraordinary book for the facts that it reveals about nineteenth-century America and one extraordinary woman who participated in the drama of some of our country 's most profound events. It is important, also, for its innovative literary form and the function it serves in uncovering the effects readers, especially reviewers and scholars, can have upon a book's fate. Written in a conversational, first-person narrative style, Behind the Scenes portrays people, places, and events familiar to every school girl or boy from perspectives few have ever been privileged to view. Though it might read more "like a romance" than an actual autobiography, Elizabeth Keckley 's story is true. As the personal testimony of a woman who went from being the legal property of a slavehoder to being a proprietor with more than twenty employees of her own, it delights and motivates. Its descriptions of Keckley's travels and of her friends provide intriguing glimpses of nineteenth-century interracial relationships and of details about the free black middle class whose very existence was generally as veiled and invisible to her nineteenth-century readers as it is to many of us today. As a literary genre, Behind the Scenes defies simple categorization. It is a page-turner memoir. Keckley's account of the offstage demeanors of Jefferson Davis, Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, Charles Sumner, and other leading men of the Civil War era reveals soft, even spiritual, moments; strong dark forebodings; and startling instances of jealousy, intrigue, and misguided motivations." - excerpt from the Historical Introduction.…
