Frances Harper was renowned in her lifetime not only as an activist
who rallied on behalf of blacks, women, and the poor, but as a
pioneer of the tradition of 'protest' literature, whose immense
popularity did much to develop an audience for poetry in America.
This collection of her poems is drawn from ten volumes published
between 1854 and 1901. Their main issues are oppression,
Christianity, and social and moral reform. Consolidating the oral
tradition and the ballad form, and merging dramatic details and
imagery with a strong political and racial awareness, Harper's
poetry represented a distinctly Afro-American discourse that was to
inspire generations of black writers.
