    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

    Extractions: Known best for her Christian verses reflecting orthodox piety, Phillis Wheatley (Peters) in fact wrote on a wide variety of topics. A kidnapped African slave child, aged about seven years old, she was sold from the South Market in Boston to well-to-do Susanna Wheatley. She was raised in a pious Christian household, and the precocious child evidently experienced special, much-indulged comfort and only token slavery. (Phillis Wheatley was manumitted by October 18, 1773.) Tutored by family members, she quickly learned English, Latin, and the Bible, and she began writing in 1765, four years after arriving in Boston harbor. She wrote to Reverend Samson Occom, a converted Christian Mohican Indian minister, and she sent a poem to Reverend Joseph Sewall of Boston’s Old South Church. Both this letter and poem are not extant, but a poem from this early period remains: in 1767, when she was about thirteen or fourteen years old, Phillis Wheatley published her first verses in a Newport, Rhode Island, newspaper. By 1772 she had composed enough poems to advertise twenty-eight of them in The Boston Censor for February 29, March 14, and April 11. She hoped to publish a volume of her poems that year in Boston.

Her first name was apparently derived from the ship that carried her to America, The Phillis ACCOMPLISHMENTS: During her life, while it was not common for American women to be published, it was especially uncommon for children of slaves to be educated at all. Her gift of writing poetry was encouraged by her owners and their daughter, Mary; they taught Phillis to read and write, with her first poem being published at the age of twelve, " On Messrs. Hussey and Coffin." The countess of Huntingdon, Selina Hastings, was a friend of the Wheatley's who greatly encouraged and financed the publication of her book of poetry

    Extractions: Send it to a friend! Phillis Wheatley was America's first black poet. Born in Senegal, Africa, around 1753, she was transported to Boston in 1761 to be sold on the slave market. John Wheatley, a tailor from Boston, purchased her as a child to serve his wife. Soon Wheatley was accepted as a member of the family and Mary Wheatley, John's daughter, was made her personal tutor. She learned English with remarkable speed and although she never attended a formal school, also learned Greek and Latin. At the age of 13 Wheatley began writing poetry. Her first published poem 'On Messrs. Hussey and Coffin' appeared in the Newport Mercury in 1767. In the following years, a number of poems appeared in various publications in and around Boston. The publication of a poem on the death of the evangelical preacher George Whitefield in 1770 made Wheatley a sensation. As a result Countess Selina of Huntingdon, a close friend of Whitefield, invited Wheatley to England and assisted the young woman in the publication of her poems. In 1773, a volume was published in London as Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral

    Extractions: Phillis Wheatley (1753-1784) Contributing Editor: William H. Robinson One of the difficulties in teaching Wheatley comes in trying to illustrate that she certainly was much more racially aware, and antislavery, in her letters (which were intended to be private) than in her more widely known verses (written for a general white public). I show how, in spite of her fame and the special indulgence of the Wheatley family who owned her, Phillis was necessarily aware of her blackness; for example, in racially segregated church pews, in the widespread menial work (street sweeping and the like) that blacks were forced to do, and in the general lack of educational facilities for Boston blacks. Students (and even scholars) are sometimes wary of the authenticity of Phillis Wheatley's poetic abilities and, accordingly, ask germane questions. Such students and scholars are disabused of their doubts when confronted with copies of extant manuscripts of verses and letters written when Phillis was known to have not been in the company of whites.
