Published Date: 1870
Categories: Poetry
Frances Watkins Harper's novel Moses: A Story of the Nile is a retelling of the story of Moses from the Old Testament. However, Harper's story centers on the child Moses, rather than the man Moses. Some scholars believe Harper does this to stress the feminine in legend, showing the influence Moses' mother had on him as a cultivator of a leader and prophet and in helping him to establish his self-identity as a Jew. The Mosaic legend is a theme in many of Harper's works. She admitted her fascination with the story and in her famous speech "Our Greatest Want," she expressed a desire for a leader and prophet like Moses for the Black race.

Publisher: Oxford University Press on Demand
Published Date: 1988
Categories: Literary Criticism
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.

Edgar Albert Guest Poem
The Killing Place
 by Edgar Albert Guest

We're hiking along at a two-forty pace
We 're making life seem like a man-killing race,
With our nerves all on edge and our jaws firmly set
We go rushing along; with our brows lined with sweat
And our cheeks pale and drawn every minute we dash,
And the goal that we 're after is merely more cash.

We 're out for the money, the greenbacks and gold,
