by Henry Louis Gates Jr. (Author)
The slave Phillis Wheatley literally wrote her way to freedom when, in 1773, she became the first person of African descent to publish a book of poems in the English language. This title examines how Wheatley has survived the judgment of past and contemporary critics.
