Northup's memoir, published in 1853, riveted contemporary audiences but fell out of print for several generations at the start of the twentieth century. Although it was kept alive in the writings of literary scholars, historians, and bibliographers, it wouldn't return to print until 1968, and soon found a place in the canon of the literary genre known as "the slave narratives." Northup's memoir was adapted for film in 2013 by black British auteur Steve McQueen, and the film received the Oscar for "Best Motion Picture" in 2014. Readers of this critical edition will find the Editor's Preface from 1853, the 1853 edition of the text and its appendices, as well as a number of illustrations from the original publication. "Contemporary Sources (1853-1865)" offers a range of contemporary reviews and responses, an excerpt from Harriet Beecher Stowe, and coverage of the court case brought against Northup's kidnappers. "A Genealogy of Secondary Sources (1880-2014)" provides readers with a comprehensive overview of early and modern commentary on Twelve Years a Slave. "Film Criticism & Reviews: 12 Years a Slave (2013)" includes responses to the film adaptation and an interview with the director Steve McQueen. A Chronology and Selected Bibliography are also included, along with an introduction by the volume's co-authors."--Provided by publisher. 600 10 Northup, Solomon, |d1808-1863? |=^A149937 630 00 12 years a slave (Motion picture) |=^A1180115 600 10 Northup, Solomon, |d1808-1863? |vFilm adaptations. |=^A149937 650 0 Enslaved persons |zUnited States |vBiography |=^A1018976 650 0 Enslaved persons' writings, American |=^A221653 650 0 African Americans |vBiography. |=^A417462 650 0 Plantation life |zLouisiana |xHistory |y19th century. |=^A41279 650 0 Slavery |zLouisiana |xHistory |y19th century. |=^A1018978 650 0 Enslaved persons' writings, American |xHistory and criticism. |=^A221653 700 1 Gates, Henry Louis, |cJr. |eeditor. |=^A154046 700 1 Burke, Kevin M., |eeditor. |=^A1279232 830 0 Norton critical edition. |=^A538572 949 |i30372016597251 |ojjlm 960 |o1 |s14.20 |tJoyner48 |uJAPP |zUSD 596 1 998 4604692
