Inhaltsangabe

Chesnutt's stories were more complex than those of many of his contemporaries. He wrote about characters dealing with difficult issues of mixed race, "passing", illegitimacy, racial identities and social place throughout his career. The issues were especially pressing during the social volatility of Reconstruction and late 19th-century southern society.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Charles Waddell Chesnutt (1858-1932) was an American author, essayist, and lawyer whose work addressed issues of race, identity, and social structure in the United States. Writing during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, he was among the first African American authors to gain a wide readership in mainstream literary publications. His fiction is recognised for its subtle treatment of complex social themes and its contribution to the development of American literary realism.
