Frances E. W. Harper was among the most widely read poets of nineteenth-century America - a lecturer, abolitionist, and reformer whose verse carried the moral urgency of her age across the nation.
This is the definitive collection: every poem and every prose piece, gathered in a single volume. It restores writing found almost nowhere else - her rare 1849 debut, Forest Leaves; poems uncollected since their first printing; and the essays and addresses that shaped a movement - alongside the celebrated Sketches of Southern Life and the book-length Moses: A Story of the Nile.
Ten parts span her whole career, from Forest Leaves (1849) through Poems (1895) and Idylls of the Bible (1901), closing with her major essays and addresses.
