TRIAL OF PHILLIS WHEATLEY IN MAY 1773 THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE ~ BLACK HISTORY

Description: This is an original 1st edition of "The Gentleman's Magazine" from 1773, featuring a report on what has come to be known as “the trial” of Phillis Wheatley, a celebrated eighteenth century poet who was transported to America on a slave ship when she was a young child and sold into slavery, published a book of poetry in London and died in poverty after being emancipated following her literary success. The report on Wheatley concerns the results of a tribunal established to determine whether she was the author of the poems published under her name. The magazine was printed in London as a single issue and later was combined with other issues from 1773 into a bound volume. It has since been carefully removed from the bound volume, is complete and in very good condition. It is a valuable addition to any collection of Americana, slavery, or poetry. The magazine's special attributes include its originality and the fact that it was printed over 200 years ago. It is a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts of antique books and magazines.
