Читать книгу Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass - Frederick Douglass - Страница 15

The Library of Congress is a rich source of Frederick Douglass's manuscripts and correspondence. Many of his earlier writings and papers were destroyed in an arson attack on his home in Rochester, New York, in 1872, but the LC collection still contains over 7,000 items and 38,000 images. Many of the materials are available online.

Collections of his works include John W. Blassingame, et al, The Frederick Douglass Papers, (3 vols., Yale University Press, 1979), and Frederick Douglass: Selected Speeches and Writings, (edited by Philip S. Foner, abridged and adapted by Yuval Taylor, 1999).

The most comprehensive modern biographies are William S. McFeely's Frederick Douglass (1991) and David W. Blight's Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom (2018).
