Beschreibung
Phillis Wheatley (c. 1753¿1784) was an American freed slave and poet who wrote the first book of poetry by an African-American. Sold into a slavery in West Africa at the age of around seven, she was taken to North America where she served the Wheatley family of Boston. Phillis was tutored in reading and writing by Mary, the Wheatleys' 18-year-old daughter, and was reading Latin and Greek classics from the age of twelve. Encouraged by the progressive Wheatleys who recognised her incredible literary talent, she wrote "To the University of Cambridge¿ when she was 14 and by 20 had found patronage in the form of Selina Hastings, Countess of Huntingdon. Her works garnered acclaim in both England and the colonies and she became the first African American to make a living as a poet. This volume contains a collection of Wheatley's best poetry, including the titular poem ¿Being Brought from Africa to Americä. Contents include: ¿Phillis Wheatley¿, ¿Phillis Wheatley by Benjamin Brawley¿, ¿To Maecenas¿, ¿On Virtue¿, ¿To the University of Cambridge¿, ¿To the King¿s Most Excellent Majesty¿, ¿On Being Brought from Africa to Americä, ¿On the Death of the Rev. Dr. Sewell¿, ¿On the Death of the Rev. Mr. George Whitefield¿, etc. Ragged Hand is proudly publishing this brand new collection of classic poetry with a specially-commissioned biography of the author.
