Poetry Today Online : Classic Poets: Phillis Wheatley
Phillis Wheatley (17531784) In 1753, a young girl was born in WestAfrica unbeknownst of what fate had laid before her. Seven years
http://www.poetrytodayonline.com/APRcp.html

Extractions: In 1753, a young girl was born in West Africa unbeknownst of what fate had laid before her. Seven years later she was kidnapped in the Senegal-Gambia region when she was about seven years old. Being so young of age she could not be sold as a slave in the West Indies or the southern colonies, she was transported to Boston where she was bought by John Wheatley, a prominent and rich merchant, in 1761. Being so young and thin she was assigned as a domestic servant to Mrs. Susannah Wheatley who immediately took pity on her. It was thus this young malnourished girl was given the Christian name Phillis Wheatley. Wheatley's first poem, 'On Messrs. Hussey and Coffin,' published in 1767, was a religious piece about two sailors who narrowly escaped drowning; its theme was that through the will of God alone the sailors survived. Over the next five years Wheatley accumulated about 30 poems which her master, John Wheatley, tried to help her publish as a book. This project was hampered by the skepticism of publishers, who did not believe that an African-American was capable of producing such correct and conventional verses. To dispel rumors of dishonesty, Wheatley took the extraordinary step of allowing herself to be examined by a committee of Boston's leading dignitaries, including the Governor and several eminent ministers, and they wrote a testimonial stating that they had examined her and believed that she really was the author of the poems concerned. Her book Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral was published in 1773. She was twenty years old.

Extractions: African-born Phillis Wheatley (~1753-1784) was brought to the U.S. as a slave in the ownership of a merchant named John Wheatley. Although it was unusual for slaves to be educated, Wheatley studied British literature and Latin at an early age and began writing herself at age 13. Although her work was appreciated by contemporary readers, it is only recently that Wheatley has begun to receive recognition in the academy as a central figure in 18th century U.S. literary history. use your browser's "back" function to return to the text

She was bought by Susanna Wheatley, a woman of some means, and welcomed more as a new member of the Wheatley household than as a slave. Phillis was precocious and quickly learned English and Latin. She began writing when she was still only a young girl, and her earliest surviving poem was written in 1767, when she was twelve or thirteen. She was formally freed by the Wheatley family when she was about twenty but remained with them until her marriage to John Peters, a free black man, in 1778.

Extractions: Your site for information on Colonial Literature Posted by Tom Kinsella , 3/28/01 at 8:16:08 PM. Ann Bradstreet (1612 - 1672) Ann Bradstreet was born in England, but raised in America as a puritan whose views were reflected in her poetry. She was considered to be the first American poet as well as the most respected woman poet of her time. In 1650 The Tenth Muse, Lately Sprung Up in America was published in England without her notice. A second edition was published with her own corrections and additions titled Several Poems Compiled With Great Variety of Wit and Learning . It would be more than adequate to have a collected volume of her work, though it would be nice to have the first and second editions of The Tenth Muse to compare the changes that were made. It is important for a college library to have a collection of her work since she was an important poet who influenced many writers. We do have one selection of her poems, but it isn't the most recent, nor is it most authoritative. This includes the poet John Berryman who wrote a sonnet sequence dedicated to her. Sarah Kemble Knight (1666 1727) Sarah Kemble Knight was an American diarist who wrote about Colonial customs. Born and raised in America, she learned first-hand about the early American experience through being a recorder of public documents and court records, as well as through her other occupations as teacher and businesswoman.

http://www.masshist.org/cabinet/september2001/wheatleybio.html

Extractions: First published in London on September 1, 1773. THE FIRST African American to publish a book, Phillis Wheatley (ca. 1753-1784) became a symbol of black achievement, and her writings offered eloquent testimony against white racial prejudice and the institution of slavery. Slave traders in West Africa seized the girl, then seven or eight years old, and brought her to Boston, Massachusetts, where the wealthy merchant-tailor John Wheatley and his wife Susanna purchased her for their personal service. Although the girl spoke no English, the Wheatleys recognized her unusual ability and precocity. She learned with remarkable speed and soon lived more like the Wheatleys' daughter than as a slave. Within two years she spoke English fluently and by age 12 published her first poem in a Rhode Island newspaper. A few years later, a verse entitled "An Elegiac Poem, on the Death of the Celebrated Divine . . . George Whitefield" (1770), honoring the evangelical Methodist, gained Phillis fame on both sides of the Atlantic. Phillis, probably named for the vessel that carried her out of Africa, earned the respect and admiration of many colonial leaders, including John Hancock. She traveled to England in 1773, where London society received her with warmth and admiration. Her English contacts encouraged her work and supported the publication of her book

http://www.dorothyprince.com/philliswheatley.asp

Extractions: On the eve of the American Revolution an amazing twenty-year-old named Phillis Wheatly wrote about slave owners: ..In every human breast God has implanted a Principle, which we call Love of Freedom; It is impatient of oppression, and pants for Deliverance; and by the Leave of our modern Egyptians I will assert, that the same Principle Lives in us. God grant Deliverance in His own Way and Time, and get him honour upon Those whose avarice impels them to countenance and help forward that Calamities of their fellow creatures. This I desire not For their Hurt, but to convince them of the strange Absurdity of their Conduct whose Words and Actions are So diametrically opposite. How well the cry for liberty, And the reverse Disposition for the exercise of oppressive Power over others agree.... When Phillis Wheatley wrote the above letter to Samson Occom, in February 1774, she was barely twenty years old. These blisteringly direct and condemning words are uncharacteristic of the "face" that the young poet had on most occasions shown to her world. Wheatley had been in the strange new world for most of her life and had seen and suffered much in her short time. Stolen from her African homeland, Wheatley was sold on the slave block in Boston. Educated in the pious home of John and Susanna Wheatley, she accepted the Christian faith offered her in the Old South Church. She had won national and international acclaim as a gifted writer of poetry, and she had made the voyage across the Atlantic three times. But her greatest

Extractions: Phillis Wheatley c. 1753-1784 Occupations Chronology The first black American to publish a book of poetry, Phillis Wheatley wrote in a style characteristic of the 18th century. Like Alexander Pope and other English writers of the 18th century, she favored highly stylized poetry , characterized by lofty subject matter, elevated diction, classical allusions, and heroic couplets. Wheatley also is known for her religious verse , including poems such as "Thoughts on the Works of Providence" and "To S.M., a Young African Painter, on Seeing His Works." "On Being Brought from Africa to America" Publication: 1773 How does Wheatley describe her forced migration to America? Do you think other slaves shared her feelings? Why or why not?

http://www.lff.org/demo/access/wheatley.html

Extractions: Taken from her home in Africa and sold as a slave at the age of eight, Phillis Wheatley was the first black person in America to have her work publish. She was the second woman after Anne Bradstreet to publish poetry. Wheatley 's poetry attracted much attention and fame. Word of her writing spread from New England to Europe. However, her poems were not recognized for their theme or message. The main interest about Phllis's poetry was that it was written by a black woman, a slave. What caught people's attention was that a slave could read and write not the message or the quality of her work. Today, recent recovery of her letters and peoms reveals that Phillis Wheatley was a very conscious person. She was concern with slavery and her poems and 1773 volume show that she was totally aware of her African heritage which she celebrated. Present day interpretation of her works explain that Phillis Wheatley used her writing as a fight for freedom for her people. BY Sarah Stepney
