Phillis Wheatley And Edward Taylor: A Literary Analysis

Phillis Wheatley and Edward Taylor both are poetic. Each writer have a didactic tone in their writings. Both artists’ writings are based on personal life experiences. Taylor demonstrates a more spiritual voice than Phillis which is more public based on her experience as a Christian slave. These artists expresses themselves in their poetry with different attitudes. The difference is that Wheatley celebrates God in her writing while also reminding racist that black people share the same Christian experiences. Taylor poetry is devotional and worship before God and people. In my opinion, both artist showed interest in the community but only spoke in God name and the other spoke in their name to the community.
