Book Synopsis

William Wells Brown was a prominent abolitionist lecturer, novelist, playwright, and historian. Born into slavery in the Southern United States, Brown escaped to the North, where he worked for abolitionist causes and was a prolific writer. Brown was a pioneer in several different literary genres, including travel writing, fiction, and drama, and wrote what is considered to be the first novel by an African American. An almost exact contemporary of Frederick Douglass, Wells Brown was overshadowed by Douglass and the two feuded publicly.

Collected here are Browns' most well known works with active table of contents. Works include:
Clotel, or The President's Daughter
Clotelle, or The Colored Heroine
The Narrative of William W. Brown, a Fugitive Slave Three Years in Europe
