《非洲人奥劳达·伊奎亚诺或古斯塔夫斯·瓦萨生活的有趣叙述》他自己写的是第一部影响了19世纪奴隶叙事自传类型的作品。这本书是由前奴隶埃奎亚诺撰写和出版的，它成为了后来那些奴隶的原型。埃奎亚诺小时候在非洲被绑架，被送到加勒比海，然后又被送到弗吉尼亚，被一个贵格会船主买下，并在海上服役。他乘坐美国和英国的船只环游世界，并在1766年获得自由后继续这样做。在伦敦定居后，他不知疲倦地为结束奴隶制而斗争。这一版的《伊奎亚诺的叙述》将文本置于十八世纪晚期废奴主义活动的中心。埃奎亚诺认识他那个时代的许多主要废奴主义者，这本书让读者可以在为结束美国和英国的奴隶制而斗争的政治和文学人物的作品中找到共同的思想和相互影响。1789年的原版叙事被用于Broadview版，附有Equiano随后的修订，包括在附录中。
The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano or Gustavus Vassa, the African . Written by Himself was the first work that influenced the nineteenth-century genre of slave narrative autobiographies. Written and published by Equiano, a former slave, it became a prototype for those that followed. Kidnapped in Africa as a child, Equiano was transported to the Caribbean and then to Virginia, bought by a Quaker shipowner, and placed in service at sea. Aboard various American and British ships, he sailed throughout the world, and he continued to do so after having purchased his freedom in 1766. Once settled in London, he fought tirelessly to end slavery. This edition of Equiano's Narrative places the text in the center of abolitionist activity in the late eighteenth century. Equiano knew many of the leading abolitionist figures of his time, and this edition allows readers to trace the common ideas and cross-influences in the works of the political and literary figures who fought for the end of slavery in America and England. The original 1789 text of the narrative has been used for the Broadview edition with Equiano's subsequent emendations included in the appendices.
