Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Autobiography of a Female Slaveby Mattie Griffithwith an afterword by Joe LockardMattie Griffith, passing as a black, wanted her book to horrify and shame the nation. She posed as a slave to bring attention to the injustice of slavery. Identifying herself as Ann, a former servant woman, she recalls her protected youth and good education as a nearly white child. She tells that at twelve she was sold to a brutal master. On his Kentucky plantation she witnessed and experienced the cruelty of slave life. Following his death one of his daughters takes Ann to the city as her servant. Ann finds new friendships there and falls in love with Henry, a slave who kills himself after being cheated out of his self-purchase. After being sold to an elderly Bostonian who emancipates her, Ann finishes her story as a schoolteacher for black children. Pseudo-slave narratives like Griffith's, first published in 1856, appeared over the course of the abolitionist movement. This is the only one now in print.Mattie Griffith (c.1826-1906), born in Kentucky, disappeared from American literary history. She remained a lifelong activist, first for abolition, and then for women's suffrage and for temperance.Joe Lockard is a doctoral candidate at the University of California, Berkeley.

Martha Griffith Browne (also known as Mattie Griffith) was a white woman who, prior to her conversion to abolitionism, had owned slaves. She wrote sketches and poems for 'The National Anti-Slavery Standard', before writing this fictionalized slave narrative in 1856. 'Autobiography of a Female Slave' is one of several noteworthy antebellum novels about slavery that were written by abolitionist authors. In some cases these novels reflected the storytelling style and conventions of the slave narrative so convincingly that they were mistaken for actual autobiographies of former slaves. The effectiveness of these novels in representing slavery, and the point of view of slaves, made them useful weapons in the antislavery struggle. (See: 'Documenting the American South. North American Slave Narratives', University of North Carolina [Chapel Hill] - available online; also 'Black Slave Narratives', John F. Bayliss (ed.) Macmillan, 1970). The title has recently been reprinted a number of times. Although the copyright page shows the date of 1856, when the novel was written, it was not published until 1857. This is the first edition, and a very scarce title, in its original, unsophisticated, binding.
