An Elegiac Poem, On the Death of that Celebrated Divine, and Eminent Servant of Jesus Christ, the Late Reverend, and Pious George Whitefield by Phillis Wheatley (1753-1784) Boston: Russell and Boyles, 1770. AN ELEGIAC POEM, ON THE DEATH OF THAT CELEBRATED DIVINE, AND EMINENT SERVANT OF JESUS CHRIST, THE LATE REVEREND, AND PIOUS GEORGE WHITEFIELD Who made his Exit from this transitory Hail, happy Saint, on thy immortal throne! To thee complaints of grievance are unknown; We hear no more the music of thy tongue, Thy wonted auditories cease to throng. Thy lessons in unequal'd accents flow'd! While emulation in each bosom glow'd; Thou didst, in strains of eloquence refin'd, Inflame the soul, and captivate the mind. Unhappy we, the setting Sun deplore! Which once was splendid, but it shines no more; He leaves this earth for Heav'n's unmeasur'd height, And worlds unknown, receive him from our sight; There WHITEFIELD wings, with rapid course his way, And sails to Zion, through vast seas of day. When his AMERICANS were burden'd sore, When streets were crimson'd with their guiltless gore!

72. Merrigold: "An Elegiac Poem" & "Liberty And Peace" I am happy to announce online editions of two poem pamphlets by phillis wheatley. wheatley was the first African American, the first slave, and the third http://merrigold.livejournal.com/72156.html

Mary Mark Ockerbloom ( merrigold ) wrote, I am happy to announce on-line editions of two poem pamphlets by Phillis Wheatley. Wheatley was the first African American, the first slave, and the third woman in the United States to publish a book of poems. Phillis Wheatley was born on the western coast of Africa and kidnapped from the Senegal-Gambia region when she was about seven years old. She was sold on July 11, 1761 to John and Susanna Wheatley of Boston. Her American name was created from the name of the ship she sailed in, the Phillis, and the family who purchased her, the Wheatleys. Originally intended to be a domestic servant and companion to Mrs. Wheatley in her later years, the Wheatleys recognized Phillis' intelligence. Their daughter Mary tutored Phillis in English, Latin, history, geography, religion, and the Bible, at a time when African-Americans were rarely taught even to read or write. Phillis published her first poem in the Newport, Rhode Island, Mercury on December 21, 1767, at age 13. Phillis became a sensation in Boston in 1770 with publication of her poem on the death of the Reverend George Whitefield. Whitefield, a celebrated evangelical preacher who frequently toured New England, had been the personal chaplain of the Countess of Huntingdon, Selina Hastings. When publishers in Boston refused to publish a book of her poems, the Countess invited Phillis to London. There she was able to publish "Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral" (1773). I am happy to put on-line the 1770 pamphlet version of Whitefield's Elegy. (The version published in her "Poems" underwent substantial changes.)

73. From Revolution To Reconstruction: Outlines: Outline Of American Literature: Dem The first AfricanAmerican author of importance in the United States, Phyllis wheatley was born in Africa and brought to Boston, Massachusetts, http://www.let.rug.nl/usa/lit/wheatley.htm

var level = 2; FRtR Outlines American Literature Democratic Origins and Revolutionary Writers, 1776-1820 > Phillis Wheatley (c. 1753-1784) An Outline of American Literature by Kathryn VanSpanckeren Democratic Origins and Revolutionary Writers, 1776-1820: Phillis Wheatley (c. 1753-1784) Index Given the hardships of life in early America, it is ironic that some of the best poetry of the period was written by an exceptional slave woman. The first African-American author of importance in the United States, Phyllis Wheatley was born in Africa and brought to Boston, Massachusetts, when she was about seven, where she was purchased by the pious and wealthy tailor John Wheatley to be a companion for his wife. The Wheatleys recognized Phillis's remarkable intelligence and, with the help of their daughter, Mary, Phillis learned to read and write. Wheatley's poetic themes are religious, and her style, like that of Philip Freneau, is neoclassical. Among her best-known poems are "To S.M., a Young African Painter, on Seeing His Works," a poem of praise and encouragement for another talented black, and a short poem showing her strong religious sensitivity filtered through her experience of Christian conversion. This poem unsettles some contemporary critics whites because they find it conventional, and blacks because the poem does not protest the immorality of slavery. Yet the work is a sincere expression; it confronts white racism and asserts spiritual equality. Indeed, Wheatley was the first to address such issues confidently in verse, as in "On Being Brought from Africa to America":

Poet Phyllis Wheatley was a trailblazer. . Home Donate to the Registry Benefactors What Happened on Your Birthday? ... Contact July 11 Phyllis Wheatley *This date celebrates the birth of Phyllis Wheatley in 1753. She was a black poet and one of the first black woman poets recognized in the United States. Born in Gambia, Africa and sold in Boston on July 11th 1761. She was purchased from a slave ship to work for the family of John Wheatley, a merchant. The Wheatley’s soon recognized her talents and gave her privileges atypical for a slave, allowing her to learn to read and write. At the age of 14 she began to write poetry, and her first published work, An Elegiac Poem, on the Death of the Celebrated Divine... George Whitefield (1770), attracted a great deal of attention. In 1773 her Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral were published in England under the sponsorship of the Countess of Huntingdon, and Wheatley's reputation spread in Europe as well as in America. A poem published in 1776, dedicated to George Washington, brought her further acclaim. The dissolution of the Wheatley family by death left Phyllis Wheatley alone, and in April 1778 she married John Peters, a free black man who failed in business and apparently also failed to support Wheatley and her children. At the end of her life, she was working as a servant, and she died in poverty. Wheatley's poetry, largely concerned with morality and piety, was conventional for its time. Her significance stems from the attention that she drew to her successful education. Her poems were reissued in the 1830s by Abolitionists eager to prove the human potential of blacks. Her best-known poems are To the University of Cambridge in New England (1767) and To the King's Most Excellent Majesty (1768). Phyllis Wheatley died December. 5th 1784 in Boston, Massachusetts.
