The mainsetting of the book takes place in Boston in the late 1700s to the early 1800s. Phillis was taken form her home in Senegal at the age of eight, so this is the initial setting. Most of Phillis' life was spent in Boston so this is the major setting. Boston is where she got her education and where it introduces her in the book. Another setting that is used is London. Phillis goes to London to advertise her book of poems so this palys a big role in her success as an author. London is also where Nathaniel meets his future wife. So the three major settings in this book is Senegal, Boston, and London. Also a minor setting is the ocean that Phillis traveled across to get to America, and when Nathaniel and her went to London.
