Wheatley, Phillis 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 browse glossary index

Store Videos Words Blog Forum What's New Jay's Bio About Us Donate Feedback Search Home International Director: Jay Rogers By Jay Rogers Published April 2008 Born in 1753 in Africa, Phillis Wheatley was kidnapped and sold at a slave auction at age seven to a prosperous Boston family who educated her and treated her as a family member. Rescued from an otherwise hopeless situation by the sympathies of the Wheatley family, Phillis learned English with remarkable speed, and, although she never attended a formal school, she also learned Greek and Latin. She became a sensation in Boston in the 1760s when her poem on the death of the Reverend George Whitefield made her famous. Whitefield, the great evangelical preacher who frequently toured New England, happened to be a close friend of Countess Selina of Huntington, and the latter invited Phillis to London to assist her in the publication of her poems. While an intrinsic ardor prompts to write, The muses promise to assist my pen; The land of errors, and Egyptian gloom. Brought me in safety from those dark abodes.

When she was about eight years old, she was kidnapped and brought to Boston. There, in 1761, John Wheatley bought her for his wife, Susanna, as a personal servant. As was the custom of the time, she was given the Wheatley family's surname. The Wheatley family taught Phillis English and Christianity, and, impressed by her quick learning, they also taught her some Latin, ancient history, mythology and classical literature. Once Phillis Wheatley demonstrated her abilities, the Wheatleys, clearly a family of culture and education, allowed Phillis time to do study and write. Her situation allowed her time to learn and, as early as 1765, to write poetry. Phillis Wheatley had fewer restrictions than most slaves experienced but she was still a slave. Her situation was unusual. She was not quite part of the white Wheatley family, nor did she quite share the place and experiences of other slaves.

Wheatley, Phillis From New World Encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Previous (Philistines) Next (Philo Judaeus) Phillis Wheatley, as illustrated by Scipio Moorhead in the frontispiece to her book Poems on Various Subjects Phillis Wheatley (1753 – December 5, 1784) was the first African American female writer to be published in the United States . Her book Poems on Various Subjects was published in 1773, two years before the American Revolutionary War began, and is seen as one of the first examples of African-American literature. After Anne Bradstreet she was the only other woman to be published in colonial America. Phillis Wheatley came to America on a slave ship and died in abject poverty; however, her works left an indelible impression that sowed the seeds for the advocacy of abolition in America. Although her poetry about the colonies' struggle for freedom from Great Britain echoes her own thoughts on liberty, she rarely drew attention to her personal circumstances or to issues of race . Rather her poems are primarily an expression of her religious zeal and her ardent faith in God Contents Early years and influences Poetry and the Revolutionary War End of life Legacy ...
