Description

Discover a literary and historical classic with W.E.B. Du Bois's biography of abolitionist John Brown. Originally published in 1909, this work provides a rare combination of scholarship and passion to examine the life of a man often misunderstood by history.

This new edition from Routledge is an essential addition for students of American history and literature. It includes a new introduction by John David Smith and provides unique access to historical context through supporting documents. These documents include correspondence between Du Bois and his publisher, offering a deeper look into the creation of this significant biographical work. Whether you are a scholar or a history enthusiast, this book offers a profound look at one of America's most complex figures.
