内容説明
This work is a detailed account of pre-emancipation writings from the period of 1760 to 1863, in light of a developing African-American religious culture and emerging free black communities. The study - which examines the relationship among race, culture and community - focuses on four women: the poet Phillis Wheatley and poet and essayist Ann Plato, both Congregationalists; and the itinerant preacher Jarena Lee, and Shaker eldress Rebecca Cox Jackson, who, with Lee, had connections with African Methodism. Together, these women drew on what the author calls a "spiritual matrix" which transformed existing literary genres to accommodate the spiritual music and sacred rituals tied to the African diaspora.
