tamu engl 203: writing abt the romantics
my prof warned us abt s/a and there is a mention of it in the book but not explicit. this was mainly abt the physical labor and abuse mary prince went through, how she was treated less than human, and her eventually escape. very educational but idk if i’d recommend it for entertainment.

em_harring's review against another edition
Rating slave narratives (like...can I say I 'loved' this book when it's utterly devastating?) makes me feel some type of way, but know that this is an important book to read. Especially in terms of early Black literature and slavery.

One of the more interesting slave narratives, I believe, I have read with a captivating story. The narrative contains many of the common aspects found in them. One thing you may consider looking into, along with this, is the Hottentot Venus who was a woman with a very interesting story. My British literature class went over the it with our discussion of this book.

rating this book feels very wrong. Prince's story is deeply tragic, and there are millions of stories like hers. take caution when you're reading, as it isn't an easy read.
