Reviews
Through his critical analysis of what Levine describes as Douglass's autobiographical project, Levine looks to Douglass's evolving ideas of race, violence, and abolitionism and advances insights into Douglass as a writer and as a social reformer...Levine's The Lives of Frederick Douglass provides a detailed look at the choices Douglass made when he sat down to write, yielding a clearer picture of the man as a writer and reformer while also evoking questions that invite further scholarship on Douglass. Levine's book will interest those seeking to understand the intellectual life of Douglass and more fully appreciate Douglass's political acumen., A nuanced and careful analysis of Frederick Douglass's iconic autobiographies...A book that explodes conventional wisdom on not just Douglass but also his fraught relationships with [William Lloyd Garrison, John Brown, Abraham Lincoln, and his erstwhile master, Thomas Auld.], Over the course of his life (1818-1895), Douglass published three autobiographies, continually revising and restructuring his life story as an ex-slave. Yet he is read and celebrated mostly for his first, The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass , published in 1845 under the aegis of William Lloyd Garrison's Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society. In this finely delineated look at Douglass' writing, Levine urges new readings of his subject's other autobiographical works, as well as his 1853 novella, The Heroic Slave , in order to grasp a fuller understanding of how Douglass came into his own and began to move away from Garrison's 'moral suasion' to an advocacy of black militancy and beyond... Levine's exploration of the character of Madison Washington in The Heroic Slave as Douglass' alter ego and his views of John Brown and President Abraham Lincoln are especially elucidating. An astute, thorough literary study that will invite fresh readings of Douglass' writing., This is a richly detailed and nuanced portrait of the artist and social reformer as a 'e~compulsive revisionist.'e(tm) Impressive in its reach and scope., The Lives of Frederick Douglass offers us welcome insights into Douglass's powers of combination and a compelling reason to refocus some of our attention from the first Narrative to the rest of his remarkable and remarkably embattled career., Show[s] how Douglass' attention to his self-representation predates our modern malleability, and was part and parcel to his becoming one of the most famous and influential Americans of the 19th Century...Levine clearly shows how Douglass amplified some parts of his life and de-emphasized others in his writings and speeches as his views and purposes evolved over time., Levine successfully avoids the trap of reading Douglass's three autobiographies as discrete texts; instead, he considers them 'as part of a larger autobiographical project that encompasses a wide range of Douglass's writings.' Levine's briskly written book also considers Douglass's relationships with figures such as John Brown, William Lloyd Garrison and Gerrit Smith. By focusing on his subject's 'evolving and sometimes contradictory positions on race, violence, nation, and black diasporic community,' Levine portrays Douglass as an ambitious and fallible character., Show[s] how Douglass'e(tm) attention to his self-representation predates our modern malleability, and was part and parcel to his becoming one of the most famous and influential Americans of the 19th Century'e¦Levine clearly shows how Douglass amplified some parts of his life and de-emphasized others in his writings and speeches as his views and purposes evolved over time., [An] inspirational study...Levine's approach is groundbreaking...Breaking new and difficult ground, he examines the 'productive role' played by William Lloyd Garrison 'and his antislavery society' in the construction of Douglass's Narrative . Adopting a scholarly decision that is not without risk, Levine succeeds in extrapolating the tangled skeins of black-white influence and exchange that were in evidence during the abolitionist era. He meticulously navigates this complex and unequal terrain with the result that he does a powerful job not of detracting from but of reinforcing Douglass's agency and artistry. More particularly, Levine's exemplary close readings trace Douglass's 'skill in negotiating his situation' and 'new ways of telling his life story' in invaluable ways. He provides an indispensable blueprint for scholars by newly mapping the indivisible yet under-researched power dynamics at work within antislavery networks as characterized by competing forms of oratorical performance, epistolary prowess, political proselytizing, and authorial self-construction. Levine's indefatigable examination of Douglass's syntax and spelling in his private writings adds grist to his mill that figures such as Garrison had an important, if repeatedly misconstrued, role to play in Douglass's formative stages as a writer. As he is careful to argue, this was a role that in no way minimizes Douglass's own virtuosity as an orator, performer, and author...[A] pioneering volume., Levine has been a major scholar of nineteenth century American literature and African American literature for over thirty years... The Lives of Fredrick Douglass benefits from his wide ranging knowledge of American literature and history...Levine balances his analysis of Douglass as a skilled practitioner of the art of autobiography with analysis of Douglass as a canny social reformer who sought to advance causes and his own career...His analysis of Douglass's depictions of his relationships to Brown, Lincoln, Thomas Auld, Douglass's wives, associates, and others are revelatory, bold, and illuminating., [A] thoughtful, ground-setting book... Levine scrutinizes not merely the times and the life-circumstances surrounding the generation of [the] three very different accounts Douglass wrote of himself but also the texts themselves, the tectonic changes running underneath them. It's a sustained performance of first-rate literary analysis on Levine's part., Pay[s] tribute to Douglass's immense literary talents...His was one of the most remarkable and revolutionary lives of the 19th century, and he did not shy from writing about it...Levine's book, which takes [his] autobiographies as its primary subject, retraces Douglass's lifelong effort to tell and retell his own astonishing story...As Levine shows, even his autobiographies were chiefly political documents. They were less concerned with exploring his private identity in formation than with exposing public crimes and inspiring a mass movement against them.
