Book Description
Excerpt from Poems, on Moral and Religious Subjects Were it not that a preface is considered by many persons as an indispensable accompaniment to a book, the authoress of this volume would prefer laying it before the world without one. But to omit complying with the general custom in this respect might seem to indicate indifference to public opinion, or the ridiculous ascription of extraordinary merit to What will be found simple in its style, and owing its chief importance to its moral and religious inculcations. Conscious of having been influenced by the best motives, when determining on publication; and equally Well aware how defective her book must appear to those whose reading has been restricted to works of acknowledged excellence, and whose taste has been formed by the finest models; the authoress conceives that apology is, in the first instance, unnecessary - and would be, perhaps, in the second, unavailing.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Poems of Phillis Wheatley Our purpose in republishing this little book of poems, a century and a quarter after the death of the author, is to acquaint the present generation more thoroughly with her remarkable genius. She was born in Africa, and at the age of eight years was brought to America and sold into slavery to a Mrs. John Wheatley in Boston. Within a year of her arrival she could read and write English, of which she was previously in entire ignorance. She also acquired a knowledge of the classics, and developed a pleasing poetic style. Before she was twenty her writings had attracted the attention of many literary people of England, and in 1773 a volume of her poems was published in London. Since then there have been many editions published; one in 1784 in Boston, another in Albany, 1793; another in 1802, another in 1805, another 1816. Memoirs and Poems of Phillis Wheatley in 1834, 1835 and 1838. Her poems constituted the second volume of Abbie Joseph La Valle's book, "The Negro Equalled by few Europeans," in 1801. Besides these, many separate poems have been published, perhaps the earliest being in memory of George Whiteneld, printed in 1770. Many of her poems were not published. She wrote a poem to George Washington, which the general highly complimented, but which he was too modest to publish. Phillis Wheatley was married to a Mr. Peters, in Boston, but died soon after in 1784, at about the age of thirty-one years. Her. poems were written and published before her marriage, and she was known as Phillis Wheatley rather than Phillis W. Peters.

Book Description
Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral was the first book of poetry ever published by an African-American author. Phillis Wheatley’s deep familiarity with Latin literature and Christianity, combined with her African ancestry, provided her with a unique and inimitable view of poetry. She was kidnapped and brought over to America on a ship called The Phillis after which she was named. Her interest in poetry and literature was recognized by the Wheatley family who, though keeping her enslaved, provided her with classic works of literature by authors such as Virgil, Homer, Terence, and Pope, all of whom had a significant influence on her work. She received praise from many of her contemporaries including George Washington, John Hancock, and Voltaire. Shortly after publishing her collection of poetry she was emancipated by the Wheatley family. Even so, her life ended in poverty and obscurity. Though her influence on poetry and African-American literature is indisputable, more modern critics of her work point to the lack of censure of slavery and the absence of discussion about the lives of black people in the United States as an example of the Uncle Tom syndrome.
