This critical edition documents Frederick Douglass’s relationship with Britain through unexplored oratory and print culture. With an unprecedented and comprehensive 60,000-word introduction that places the speeches, letters, poetry and images printed here into context, the sources provide extraordinary insight into the myriad performative techniques Douglass used to win support for the causes of emancipation and human rights.
Editors examine how Douglass employed various media – letters, speeches, interviews and his autobiographies – to convince the transatlantic public not only that his works were worth reading and his voice worth hearing, but also that the fight against racism would continue after his death.

Her accompanying website (www.frederickdouglassinbritain.com) maps thousands of Black activist speaking locations in Britain and Ireland and is the basis for her community and heritage work. John Kaufman-McKivigan is the Mary O’Brien Gibson Professor of History at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis as well as the Editor of the Frederick Douglass Papers. He is author of numerous books and scholarly articles on abolitionism and other aspects of American reform history. He is currently preparing a study of Frederick Douglass’ participation in the overlapping movements for radial political, social, and economic change in the early years of Reconstruction
