In this comprehensive volume of the collected writings of James Monroe Whitfield (1822-71), the authors restore this African American poet, abolitionist, and intellectual to his rightful place in the arts and politics of the nineteenth-century United States. Levine and Wilson have gathered and annotated all of Whitfield's extant writings, both poetry and prose, and many pieces are reprinted here for the first time since their original publication.
