Your reading for tonight are the selected passages from Phillis Wheatley. I would like for you to read the following:
1. Her biography.
2. The preface and letter written by her master, Mr. John Wheatley.
3. The poems "To Maecenas", "To the University of Cambridge, in New England", "On Being Brought from Africa to America", "On the Death of the Rev. Mr. George Whitfield", and "To His Excellency Gen. George Washington"
Make sure that with all of the poems you use the footnotes to better understand the text.
