Spiritual Narratives (The ^ASchomburg Library of Nineteenth-Century Black Women Writers) - Softcover
Synopsis
Published between 1835 and 1907, these four narratives share a theme that continues to dominate African-American literature today: the use of Christianity to give strength and comfort in the struggle for liberation from caste and gender restrictions. Widely considered the first American-born
woman (black or white) to give a public address, Maria Stewart links the dual concerns of spirituality and freedom in her fiery orations. Jarena Lee, the earliest black female preacher identified with the African Methodist Episcopal Church, offers a stirring account of her religious calling. Julia
Foote presents an autobiographical sketch of her experiences as a renowned Ohio evangelist. And, in the last of these inspirational narratives, free-born Virginia Broughton recounts her twenty years as a missionary.

Review
"These itinerant black women preachers whose autobiogaphies occasionally read like travelogues--or in the case of Maria Stewart, a mournful adieu upon embarkation--were living out on the geographical landscape the metaphor of their psychic and spiritual journey, were literalizing the quest for a locus of freedom..."--Sue E. Houchins, in her Introduction
"Thanks to Sue Houchins and the Schomburg Library for making these texts available, expecially the writings of Maria Stewart and Jarena Lee. They revolutionize staid conceptions of religious experience, American Christianity, and the spirituality of politics and history. These are the classics that students need to read."--Jennifer Rycenga, Pomona College
