Phillis Wheatley's poetics of liberation : backgrounds and contexts

Author:	John C Shields
Publisher:	Knoxville : University of Tennessee Press, ©2008.
Edition/Format:	Book : State or province government publication : English : 1st edView all editions and formats
Summary:	In this volume, John C. Shields demonstrates that much of the negative response to Phillis Wheatley's writings has been based on false assumptions and myths about her and her work. Much of this criticism began more than a century ago and has been passed on without dissent by generations of readers. Here, Shields sets a course for Wheatley scholars that will redefine the direction of future writing about her. Shields provides new readings for a great many of her poems. He shows that Wheatley's writing was deeply imbedded in several literary traditions, demonstrating that her work is the result of an African inheritance, a complex relationship with a Congregationalist religious heritage, and an intense involvement with classical literature. Read closely, Wheatley's works show she deserves credit for creating a liberationist aesthetic - the full implications of which are still to be worked out. --From publisher's description.  Read more...
