John Brown: A Biography is a 1909 work of historical biography by W. E. B. Du Bois, centered on the white abolitionist who led the 1859 raid on Harpers Ferry and became one of the most contested figures in the struggle over slavery. The book is not a neutral chronology in the narrow sense. It is a literary, moral, and political interpretation of Brown as a man whose life exposed the central contradiction of the United States: a republic committed to liberty while protecting human bondage. Du Bois traces Brown from his religious upbringing and ordinary economic struggles to his militant opposition to slavery, placing individual action within the larger conflict between abolitionism and slave power. Written by one of the leading Black intellectuals of the twentieth century, the biography also belongs to African American historical thought. Its purpose is to explain why Brown mattered not only as a radical reformer, but as a figure deeply connected to Black aspirations for freedom, citizenship, and dignity.
