Which is a central idea of gates mister jefferson and the trials of phillis wheatley
patriot [66]

This essay is an expanded version of the lecture Henry Louis Gates, Jr., presented at the Library of Congress in March, 2002, as one of a series of the prestigious Jefferson Lectures in the Humanities. In his analysis of the controversy surrounding Phillis Wheatley’s poetry, Gates demonstrates that theoretical issues debated in the academy are indeed relevant to the everyday lives of Americans. Gates, chairman of the Department of African and African American Studies at Harvard University, is a prominent intellectual. In his preface he states that the National Endowment for the Humanities, in honoring him by inviting him to lecture, acknowledges the importance of African American studies in the intellectual life of the United States.

His extended argument is crafted to explain how Thomas Jefferson and Wheatley were instrumental in founding the tradition of African American literature. An exchange of letters between a French diplomat and Jefferson debated the question of the intellectual potential of African slaves. The controversy continued throughout the first half of the nineteenth century and was a central issue in the abolitionist movement.

Gates has demonstrated throughout a prolific publishing career his mastery of a variety of literary genres, from personal memoir to academic critical theory. In this essay he writes for a general audience, presenting his argument in forceful, eloquent prose. He tells a compelling story, with frequent witty references to topical issues. Although securely grounded in his identity as an African American, Gates argues that the reading and interpretation of literature must be free of racial bias. Despite the explosive growth in the past thirty years of publication of creative works and literary criticism in African American studies, many readers will not be familiar with Wheatley’s life and work, so Gates provides the necessary biographical and historical background.

On October 8, 1772, Phillis Wheatley was called before a committee of eighteen prominent Bostonians who had gathered to judge whether the celebrated young poet was an imposter. The larger issue at stake was one widely debated in eighteenth century America and Europe: Did Africans have the intellectual capacity to create literature? At the heart of this question was the contemporary belief that Africans were a subspecies, existing somewhere between the apes and civilized humans. The confrontation between Wheatley and her interrogators was important. If she, an African, could create original literature, she must be recognized as fully human. Slavery, justified at that time by assuming the racial inferiority of Africans, would therefore be morally indefensible.

Wheatley had arrived in Boston on a sailing ship from West Africa in 1761. She was estimated to be seven or eight years old at the time because she had lost her front baby teeth. Although her birthplace was unknown, Gates speculates that she spoke Wolof, a West African language. She was purchased as a house slave by John Wheatley, a successful merchant, for his wife Susanna, who named the child Phillis after the ship that had brought her to America.

The Wheatleys’ daughter Mary taught Phillis to read and write both English and Latin. She was, without question, an immensely gifted child. In 1767 she began publishing her poetry in periodicals and broadsheets, poems printed on a single piece of paper and sold on the street. The public in both England and America gave her poetry an enthusiastic reception. She wrote primarily elegies and panegyrics, or praises for current events and well-known people. Her predominant form was the heroic couplet, pairs of rhymed lines in iambic pentameter, in the style of English poet Alexander Pope.

Placing Wheatley in the context of eighteenth century racial beliefs, Gates draws on the complex theories of such philosophers as Francis Bacon, Immanuel Kant, and David Hume to frame the public debate on the question of the humanity of Africans. He quotes extensively from contemporary texts to illustrate popular beliefs, many of which would appall twenty-first century readers.

In the light of this controversy, Wheatley was a disturbing... (this is a para. offline) not stealing just showing/helping  you

How did miss Emily change over the course of her life?
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

A Rose for Emily" opens with Miss Emily Grierson's funeral. It then goes back in time to show the reader

Emily's childhood. As a girl, Emily is cut off from most social contact by her father. When he dies, she

refuses to acknowledge his death for three days. After the townspeople intervene and bury her father, Emily is

further isolated by a mysterious illness, possibly a mental breakdown.

Homer Barron’s crew comes to town to build sidewalks, and Emily is seen with him. He tells his drinking

buddies that he is not the marrying kind. The townspeople consider their relationship improper because of

differences in values, social class, and regional background. Emily buys arsenic and refuses to say why. The

ladies in town convince the Baptist minister to confront Emily and attempt to persuade her to break off the

relationship. When he refuses to discuss their conversation or to try again to persuade Miss Emily, his wife

writes to Emily’s Alabama cousins. They come to Jefferson, but the townspeople find them even more

haughty and disagreeable than Miss Emily. The cousins leave town.

Emily buys a men’s silver toiletry set, and the townspeople assume marriage is imminent. Homer is seen

entering the house at dusk one day, but is never seen again. Shortly afterward, complaints about the odor

emanating from her house lead Jefferson’s aldermen to surreptitiously spread lime around her yard, rather

than confront Emily, but they discover her openly watching them from a window of her home.

Miss Emily’s servant, Tobe, seems the only one to enter and exit the house. No one sees Emily for

approximately six months. By this time she is fat and her hair is short and graying. She refuses to set up a

mailbox and is denied postal delivery. Few people see inside her house, though for six or seven years she

gives china-painting lessons to young women whose parents send them to her out of a sense of duty.

The town mayor, Colonel Sartoris, tells Emily an implausible story when she receives her first tax notice: The

city of Jefferson is indebted to her father, so Emily’s taxes are waived forever. However, a younger generation

of aldermen later confronts Miss Emily about her taxes, and she tells them to see Colonel Sartoris (now long

dead, though she refuses to acknowledge his death). Intimidated by Emily and her ticking watch, the aldermen

leave, but they continue to send tax notices every year, all of which are returned without comment.

In her later years, it appears that Emily lives only on the bottom floor of her house. She is found dead there at

the age of seventy-four. Her Alabama cousins return to Jefferson for the funeral, which is attended by the

entire town out of duty and curiosity. Emily’s servant, Tobe, opens the front door for them, then disappears

out the back. After the funeral, the townspeople break down a door in Emily’s house that, it turns out, had

been locked for forty years. They find a skeleton on a bed, along with the remains of men’s clothes, a

tarnished silver toiletry set, and a pillow with an indentation and one long iron-gray hair
