Richard Wheatley Journal and Ellen W. Pease Poetry, 1805-1839
Volume containing Richard Wheatley's 14-page journal (1805 September 13-1807 November 26). Wheatley primarily notes his travel and those he meets, including trips from Boston to Canton to see his future wife, Hannah Dunbar; to Georgia to inspect cargo arrivals on ships from Liverpool; and around Maine. He mentions a yellow fever outbreak in New York, setting up spinning frames in Canton, "troublesome insects" in Georgia, and an eclipse he witnesses while traveling by ship to Rhode Island. He also mentions his regular attendance at "Stilman's Meeting-House" run by Baptist pastor Samuel Stillman, and that he has attended Stillman's funeral. Also includes 12 pages of manuscript poetry and verse (dated 1835 February 5-1839 February 29) by Wheatley's daughter, Ellen W. Pease, on the subjects of death, love, the soul, and youth versus age. There are also 10 pages of occasional Wheatley and Pease family ledger entries.
New Essays on Phillis Wheatley
The first African American to publish a book on any subject, poet Phillis Wheatley (1753?-1784) has long been denigrated by literary critics who refused to believe that a black woman could produce such dense, intellectual work. In recent decades, however, Wheatley's work has come under new scrutiny as the literature of the eighteenth century and the impact of African American literature have been reconceived. Fourteen prominent Wheatley scholars consider her work from a variety of angles, affirming her rise into the first rank of American writers. --from publisher description.
