Rowlandson may have set a classroom standard for captivity narratives in
American literature but there are other stories to be considered.
In addition to those captured by Native Americans, slave narratives also
tell stories of life in captivity. And, captivity narratives are not limited to
an American tradition; many folk and fairy tales preceded them in other
cultures.
