Life of William Grimes, the Runaway Slave, published in 1825, is the first fugitive slave narrative in American history. Because Grimes wrote and published his narrative on his own, without deference to white editors, publishers, or sponsors, his Life has an immediacy, candor, and no-holds-barred realism unparalleled in the famous antebellum slave narratives of the period.
Nancy Kuhl, curator of poetry in the Yale Collection of American Literature, will discuss the exhibition “Road Show: Travel Papers in American Literature”
