Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An arresting and meticulously researched collection of poems” about the life of Phillis Wheatley, the first black woman to publish a book in America (Ms. Magazine). In 1773, a young African American woman named Phillis Wheatley published a book of poetry, Poems on various Subjects, Religious and Moral (1773). When Wheatley’s book appeared, her words would challenge Western prejudices about African and female intellectual capabilities. Her words would astound many and irritate others, but one thing was clear: This young woman was extraordinary. Based on fifteen years of archival research, The Age of Phillis, by award-winning writer Honorée Fanonne Jeffers, imagines the life and times of Wheatley: her childhood with her parents in the Gambia, West Africa, her life with her white American owners, her friendship with Obour Tanner, her marriage to the enigmatic John Peters, and her untimely death at the age of about thirty-three. Woven throughout are poems about Wheatley's “age”—the era that encompassed political, philosophical, and religious upheaval, as well as the transatlantic slave trade. For the first time in verse, Wheatley’s relationship to black people and their individual “mercies” is foregrounded, and here we see her as not simply a racial or literary symbol, but a human being who lived and loved while making her indelible mark on history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mostly hidden from public view, like an embarrassing family secret, scores of putative locks of George Washington’s hair are held, more than two centuries after his death, in the collections of America’s historical societies, public and academic archives, and museums. Excavating the origins of these bodily artifacts, Keith Beutler uncovers a forgotten strand of early American memory practices and emerging patriotic identity. Between 1790 and 1840, popular memory took a turn toward the physical, as exemplified by the craze for collecting locks of Washington’s hair. These new, sensory views of memory enabled African American Revolutionary War veterans, women, evangelicals, and other politically marginalized groups to enter the public square as both conveyors of these material relics of the Revolution and living relics themselves. George Washington’s Hair introduces us to a taxidermist who sought to stuff Benjamin Franklin’s body, an African American storyteller brandishing a lock of Washington’s hair, an evangelical preacher burned in effigy, and a schoolmistress who politicized patriotic memory by privileging women as its primary bearers. As Beutler recounts in vivid prose, these and other ordinary Americans successfully enlisted memory practices rooted in the physical to demand a place in the body politic, powerfully contributing to antebellum political democratization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'Lays of Ancient Virginia, and Other Poems' by James Avis Bartley, the reader is taken on a journey through the rich history and culture of Virginia through poetic verses. Bartley's literary style is characterized by vivid imagery, intricate rhyme schemes, and a deep exploration of the human experience. The poems in this collection are steeped in the literary context of the Romantic era, delving into themes of nature, love, and the passage of time. Bartley's words transport the reader to a bygone era, evoking both nostalgia and a renewed appreciation for the beauty of Virginia. James Avis Bartley, a native Virginian, draws inspiration from his surroundings and his deep connection to the history of his homeland. His passion for poetry and his desire to preserve the stories of Virginia's past led him to create this collection of poems. Bartley's intimate knowledge of Virginia's landscapes and people shines through in his work, making 'Lays of Ancient Virginia, and Other Poems' a tribute to the enduring spirit of the state. I highly recommend 'Lays of Ancient Virginia, and Other Poems' to readers interested in poetry, Virginia history, and the Romantic literary tradition. Bartley's masterful verses will captivate and inspire, offering both a glimpse into the past and a deeper understanding of the power of language and storytelling.
