Notes:

"The poems that appear here include the one hundred sixteen poems in ten separate volumes of Harper's poetry issued between 1854 and 1901. Ten additional poems are from other sources ... an exact publishing history for the extant volumes is confusing and difficult to document."--Editorial Note.

Appendix by Susanne Dietzel (pages 219-232) contains a chronological list of Frances Ellen Watkins Harper's Poetry and a list of Harper's poetry by published volume.

"Whenever possible, the volumes in this set were reproduced directly from original materials. When availability, physical condition of original texts, or other circumstances prohibited this, volumes or portions of volumes were reset."--Editorial Note.
