Mary’s Reviews > The Odyssey of Phillis Wheatley: A Poet's Journeys Through American Slavery and Independence > Status Update

Did not finish. I read the first third of the book. But I had too much else to do to finish it. I think I got the general idea of the controversy over Wheatley's writings and the argument that she played an important part in American history as well as in African American literature. I liked it that dual interpretations of certain poems allowed readers to see both views.
