Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass from 1845 remains one of the most profoundly influential works in American literature. A combination of memoir and treatise on abolition, the book charts Douglass’ escape from the horrors of slavery to his life as a key member of the anti-slavery movement. Joseph Luzzi, professor of literature at Bard College, explores the book’s literary elements and themes, including Douglass’ brilliant ideas on religion, morality, education, and freedom.
