Mary Prince was the first black woman to publish an account of her life in Britain-an account so brutal that few believed it. The History of Mary Prince (1831) describes Prince's sufferings as a slave in the Caribbean Islands, and her eventual arrival in London with her sadistic owner Mr. Wood. Prince escaped in 1828 and sought assistance from the Anti-Slavery Society. Brief, forthright, and unvarnished, Prince's account sparked outrage and catalyzed change during a pivotal moment when stormy debates on abolition were raging on both sides of the Atlantic. It inspired two libel actions and sold out of three printings in the year of its publication. This powerful cry for emancipation stands as a seminal work of abolitionist literature. This edition is a republication of the complete 1831 edition and includes additional related texts, an in-depth essay, and a detailed biographical timeline.
