    Extractions: Biography - Criticism Selected Bibliography Related Links BIOGRAPHY - CRITICISM Frances Ellen Watkins (Harper) was born in 1825 in Baltimore, Maryland, which was a free state at that time. Harper's mother died before she was three years old, leaving her an orphan. Harper was raised by her uncle, William Watkins, a teacher at the Academy for Negro Youth and a radical political figure in civil rights. Watkins was a major influence on Harper's political, religious, and social views. Harper attended the Academy for Negro Youth and the rigorous education she received, along with the political activism of her uncle, affected and influenced her poetry. After she left school in 1839, Harper's first poems were published in abolitionist periodicals, such as "Frederick Douglass' Paper." In 1845, Harper's first book of poems

    Extractions: Chaste in language, moral in character, and fiery in spirit, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (1825-1911), poet, novelist, essayist, journalist, abolitionist, feminist, Christian writer, and temperance and women's rights organizer, was truly a 19th century Rennaisance woman of letters. Born on September 24, 1825, to a free black woman and unknown father, Frances poignantly wrote 34 years later, "Oh, is it not a privilege, if you are sisterless and lonely, to be a sister to the human race, and to place your heart where it may throb close to downtrodden humanity." Filled with courage, compassion, danger, difficulty and intelligence, her life and work shine light on that period of American history after the Civil War which so cruelly combined progress and goodness, racist backsliding and fear. In an era where it was deemed unseemly, if not shocking, for an unmarried, young woman, black or white, to address mixed audiences of men and women, the Maine Antislavery Society helped launch a lifelong career, when, in 1854, they hired Frances Ellen Watkins, at age 29, to speak on their behalf. A radical antebellum abolitionist, Miss Watkins preached and practiced the politics of Free Produce, urging economic boycotts of slave-produced goods. Denied appointment as an agent because of obdurate sexism, Frances Watkins, nevertheless, collected donations for the Underground Railroad and counted among her friends Frederick Douglass, William Still, John Brown, Sojourner Truth, and Harriet Tubman. After the abolition of slavery, she was especially concerned with helping women understand they could and should use their time and talents to achieve "high and lofty goals."

    Extractions: Francis Ellen Watkins Harper (1825-1911) Contributing Editor: Elizabeth Ammons Two primary issues in teaching Harper are: (1) the high-culture aesthetic in which students have been trained makes it hard for them to appreciate Harper and find ways to talk about her; (2) most students' ignorance of nineteenth-century African-American history deprives them of a strong and meaningful historical context in which to locate Harper's work. To address the first issue, I ask students to think about the questions and methods of analysis that they may bring to the study of literature in the classroom. What do we look for in "good" literature? Their answers are many but usually involve the following: It should be "interesting" and deal with "important" ideas, themes, topics. It should be intellectually challenging. The style should be sophisticatedby which they mean economical, restrained, and learned without being pretentious. It should need analysis i.e., have many hidden points and many "levels" of meaning that readers (students) do not see until they get to class. Then we talk about these criteria: "Interesting" and "important" by whose standards? Theirs? All of theirs? Whose, then?

    Extractions: Melba Joyce Boyd Frances E. W. Harper was a prolific champion of the abolitionist movement and feminist causes in the latter half of the nineteenth century. Recognized as part of the "free colored community," Harper was a lecturer, educator, poet, essayist, and novelist. Yet neither her art nor her political insight was preserved by subsequent generations until the most recent resurgence of the women's movement. In Discarded Legacy , however, Melba Joyce Boyd, herself a poet, approaches Harper not simply as a feminist, but also as a writer. She utilizes poetry as a prism through which she refracts Harper's life, and likewise refracts her own vision of Harper's vision. In effect, this book reflects on the impact of Harper's legacy upon another artist/activist, which is proportionately how a legacy works. In essence, she has written a "bio-critical study," a very personal account of a poet representing and presenting a poet. In doing so, she finally gives Harper's life the recognition it deserves. "Boyd is excellent in addressing a formal critique of Mrs. Harper's work . . . an authentic study, perhaps the best we yet have of the writer."—Maryemma Graham Northeastern University

(Chicago: Rand McNally, 1894). Introduction Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (1825-1911), poet, anti-slavery lecturer and suffragist, alone among the African American women who delivered speeches and commentary at the Congress of Representative Women, addressed lynching in her speech. She maintained that what the nation needed was not simply more voters (i.e., women), but "better voters." Why, she asked, are "red-handed men" who lynch their fellow men allowed to vote, while the noblest women remain silenced in their husbands' shadows: "The hands of lynchers are too red with blood to determine the political character of the government for even four short years." Harper argued that only the development of a national conscience could turn the nation's "muddy waters" into "cleaner, clearer waters." She viewed the women of the nation as responsible for building and maintaining the nation's character. (See biographical sketch also in this project.)
