On Phillis Wheatley
Portrait reportedly painted by Scipio Moorhead (S. M.) In 1761 Phillis was purchased as a personal slave in Boston by Susannah Wheatley, wife of tailor John Wheatley. She was evidently around 7 years old at the time. Her only written memory of her birthplace was of her mother performing a ritual of pouring water before the sun as it rose; biographers conjecture she came from Senegal/Gambia and may have been a Fula, a Moslem people who read Arabic script. Very likely she was kidnapped into slavery and brought on a slaving vessel on the Middle Passage. She learned to speak and write English very quickly, taught by Mary Wheatley, the 18 year old daughter of her owner; within 16 months she could read difficult passages in the Bible. At 12 she began studying Latin and English literature, especially the poetry of Alexander Pope, soon translating Ovid into heroic couplets. These would have been remarkable accomplishments for an educated white male boy, and was virtually unheard of for white females. She may well have read Anne Bradstreet's poetry. The Wheatleys appreciated her talents, and showed her off to their friends; many came to visit with this "lively and brilliant conversationalist." She was thoroughly indoctrinated into Puritanism. Phillis's place was designated by her white world, and she was virtually cut off from her own people, but she was definitely still a slave, although a privileged one. Though superior to most in her intellectual and literary accomplishments, she was clearly never their social equal. Perhaps that accounts for her not adopting Pope's major literary characteristicsatirealthough she did adopt his poetic forms and classical allusions. Nevertheless, modern feminist critics have pointed out her subtle and hidden critical messages (which would have had to have been well hidden, so as not to offend the white benefactors upon whom she had to depend).

    Wheatley, Phillis
    Wheatley, Phillis, , American poet, considered the first important black writer in the United States. Brought from Africa in 1761, she became a house slave for the Boston merchant John Wheatley and his wife Susanna, who, recognizing her intelligence and wit, educated her and encouraged her talent. Her work, which was derivative, was published in the collection Poems on Various Subjects (1773) and in various magazines. A second volume existed in manuscript, but it was not published and was subsequently lost. Although Wheatley traveled to England, where she was much admired, and soon thereafter obtained her freedom, she eventually died in poverty.

      Born in Africa in the early 1750's, the child who would be known as Phillis Wheatley was brought to Boston in 1761 to be sold on the slave market. The child was purchased by the Wheatleys, a prominent Boston family. Early on, Phillis showed signs of remarkable intelligence. The Wheatley's noticed this intelligence and encouraged it by making Mary Wheatley her personal tutor. Phillis began writing poems as a young woman and gradually began to see poetry as her avenue of expression in literate white culture. Her first published poem, "On Messrs. Hussey and Coffin." appeared in the

London, 1773
The gifted young black poet Phillis Wheatley (ca. 1753-1784) was celebrated as "the extraordinary poetical genius" of colonial New England even before this compilation of her poems was published in September 1773. Not yet eight years old when she was brought to America from Africa in 1761, Wheatley was educated by her mistress, and her first poem was published in a Rhode Island newspaper when she was only fourteen. Her pious elegies for prominent English and colonial leaders became popular and were often reprinted in colonial newspapers or as broadsides. Wheatley's 1773 visit to London, ostensibly to improve her frail condition, was cut short by her mistress' failing health. Although she was entertained by William Legge, Earl of Dartmouth, the abolitionist Grenville Sharpe, John Thornton, and Benjamin Franklin, Wheatley did not meet her patron, Selina Hastings, Countess of Huntingdon, to whom she dedicated her Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral.

From the American Memory Collection
Library of Congress. Phillis Wheatley was an internationally known American poet of the late 18th century. She was born in West Africa circa 1753, and thus she was only a few years younger than James Madison. Of course, her life was very different. She was kidnapped and enslaved at age seven. Too young to be sold in the West Indies or the southern colonies, she was purchased by John Wheatley, a prominent Boston tailor, in 1761. She was spared the worst of slavery, but the harsh New England climate (harsher then than now) would take its toll. Clearly a gifted child, she was tutored by Mrs. Wheatley. She received no formal schooling, but her progress was amazing. Mr. Wheatley wrote: "PHILLIS was brought from Africa to America, in the Year 1761, between seven and eight Years of Age. Without any Assistance from School Education, and by only what she was taught in the Family, she, in sixteen Months Time from her Arrival, attained the English language, to which she was an utter Stranger before, to such a degree, as to read any, the most difficult Parts of the Sacred Writings, to the great Astonishment of all who heard her.

BACK TO EXHIBITS EXHIBIT HOME View Exhibit Phillis Wheatley is considered the first African-American poet, a status which makes her all the more important given that she made her mark in a time when America had few distinct literary voices of any ethnicity. She was brought to this country at the age of eight by slave traders and sold to John Wheatley, a prosperous Boston tailor, who educated her along with his own children. Her charm, quick wit, and an amazing facility for language made her something of a sensation among Boston intellectuals. She wrote her first verses at the age of 13, and in 1773 was taken to England where she was received in the highest circles of the aristocracy. The selections featured in the exhibit come from the first edition of her Poems on Various Subjects Religious and Moral (London, 1773), which is considered a high spot by collectors of American literature. This copy is somewhat unique for retaining the frontispiece portrait of Phillis Wheatley. Many copies found today do not contain this page. Some critics have speculated that early booksellers may have removed the frontispiece for fear of offending potential buyers. Others maintain that some copies were simply issued without the portrait. Whatever the case, all Wheatley scholars agree that the image is a very accurate likeness. Tradition has it that Mrs. John Wheatley, who was very fond of Phillis, kept a framed copy of the frontispiece above her fireplace. Phillis was freed shortly after her trip to England. She married John Peters, also a freed slave. Early sources maintain that he was "disagreeable in manner." He seems to have been arrested and jailed on more than one occasion. More recent research has shown that he may have been a politically active individual who agitated for the abolition of slavery and the rights of African-Americans.

Classroom Issues and Strategies
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.

Phillis Wheatley
Poet Slave
Phillis Wheatley was an African slave in Boston, Massachusetts when she became the first published black poet in America in 1767. Wheatley came to the Boston slave market in 1761 (some have guessed from Senegal) and was purchased by John Wheatley for his wife, Susannah. Named Phillis and given her master's surname, it was estimated she was between 7 and 8 years old. She quickly mastered English and the Wheatleys saw to it that she learned literature, mythology, Latin and Greek. By the time she was 13 she was writing her own poems, influenced especially by the poetry of Alexander Pope and John Milton . She published locally in 1767 and was considered a prodigy among the Boston literati, thanks to her "lively" personality as well as her sophisticated verse. While on a visit to England in 1773 she was dubbed "the sable muse," and her first collection, Poems on Various Subjects , was published. Her mature handling of the neoclassical style, with its Biblical and Homeric touches, was such that the book came with sworn assurances that this teenage African girl had, in fact, written the poems. After Susannah Wheatley died Phillis was freed; she married John Peters in 1778 and spent the rest of her life in poverty and obscurity, dying at the age of 31. Two books of her writings were published posthumously:

Phillis Wheatley Biography
Phillis Wheatley Phillis Wheatley Biography Phillis Wheatley was only seven or eight years old when she was captured and taken from her home in West Africa. A slave ship brought her to Boston in 1761. Knowing nothing of the talents she would soon show the world, John Wheatley, a prosperous tailor, and his wife, Susannah, purchased the young girl directly from the ship and named her Phillis Wheatley. Wheatley grew up to be a poet. Her collection, Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral, was published on September 1, 1773. How did she become the first African American writer to be published, when most slaves were forbidden to learn to read and write? One day, the Wheatleys saw Phillis writing on a wall with chalk. Rather than punish her, the Wheatleys encouraged her to learn. Their daughter tutored her in reading and writing. Wheatley also studied English literature, Latin, and the Bible, but what she did best was to write poetry. Her first poem was published in the Newport Mercury newspaper in 1767.

Phillis Wheatley and the Sentimental Tradition
Author Annie Finch Miami University Abstract This essay describes critics’ relations to sentimentality, and then situates Phillis Wheatley’s poetry within it. Carefully distinguishing between Enlightenment poetry of sensibility and nineteenth-century sentimental poetry allows us to recognize Wheatley as among the first innovators of sentimentality, and it is precisely the politics of “race” which promotes such an innovation. Wheatley’s poetry presents us with a manifesto of sentimentality. She discovered the advantages, in the task of overcoming poetical oppression, of constructing a sentimental poetry that is genuinely intersubjective rather than subjective. What this examination of Wheatley’s work shows us is that the Romantic, expressivist aesthetic, allegedly so spontaneous, can be seen as in fact much more manipulative – at least politically – than Wheatley’s innovative, sentimentalist form. Although Phillis Wheatley's poetry is typical of her time in being highly rhetoricalconventional and persuasive towards public actionit also has certain contrasting, sentimental elements which do not seem to occur in other poems of the time, although they would become common in early nineteenth-century poetry. While the rhetorical tone in Wheatley's poetry correlates with themes and tropes that were common to eighteenth-century American poetrynamely public and political subjectsthe sentimental tone correlates with the situations and tropes that were common in early 19th century sentimental poetrynamely death and bereavement.
