African American Literature and the Classicist Tradition Black Women Writers from Wheatley to Morrison

“Not many scholars have the opportunity to trail blaze and publish a seminal work; Walters has a just that, and will make a major impact on scholarship in Classics, Black Studies, and Comparative Literature.

 

 

 

Walters’ work fosters discussion on how black women have used the classics – as empowering, complicated, subtle; how black women signify off of one another; and generally how a handful of extremely important writers from a local or specific context found universal appeal.

 

 

 

Walters moves from Phillis Wheatley to Rita Dove, while also discussing authors such as Gwendolyn Brooks and Toni Morrison. This is a wonderful array of significant authors.”--Patrice Rankine, Purdue University
