For nearly thirtyfive years Julian Masons The Poems of Phillis Wheatley (1966) has been the standard edition of the poems and letters of this young black poet of eighteenthcentury Boston. This new edition has been extensively revised in light of Wheatley scholarship since its publication. It has been expanded to include all of the fiftysix poems and twentytwo letters now known to be by Wheatley, the significant variants of the poems, and the four Proposals for publication of her works, all of them annotated.This edition contains the recently discovered poem Ocean, new information about Wheatleys library (including a southern connection), a more accurate reading of a letter central to understanding the response to her 1772 Proposals, new variants of two poems, and a new reading of her George Washington poem. By going back to the original manuscripts (and to first printings when the manuscripts are not extant), Mason has provided the fullest and most accurate edition of Wheatleys poems and letters yet produced. The new index and bibliography assure the volumes usefulness for the scholar, the student, and the general reader.
