عن المؤلف
Sarah Hopkins Bradford (1818-1912) was a nineteenth-century American writer known for her biographies and works that delocalized the lives of notable African Americans during a time when their stories were often overlooked or forgotten by the mainstream population. Among her literary contributions, Bradford is best remembered for her 1869 work, ‘Scenes in the Life of Harriet Tubman, ‘ an important early biography of the famed Underground Railroad conductor and abolitionist, Harriet Tubman. Born into a Quaker family with strong abolitionist leanings, Bradford’s upbringing instilled in her a sense of justice and a commitment to anti-slavery causes, which would significantly shape her writing career. With a narrative style that mixes the factual recounting of Tubman’s extraordinary life with a novelist’s flair for drama and emotion, Bradford’s biography was instrumental in promoting the accomplishments of Tubman as well as engaging the public in the broader abolitionist and early civil rights movements. ‘Scenes in the Life of Harriet Tubman’ not only illuminated the life of its remarkable subject but also provided eye-opening accounts of the experiences of slaves and their strife for freedom. Despite the lack of extensive personal papers, Bradford’s impact on literary and historical preservation, particularly within African American history, remains significant.
