Du Bois, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, James Weldon Johnson, Claude McKay, Jean Toomer, Richard Wright. ***'Although Black American literature has its roots in the late eighteenth century, it was in the middle of the nineteenth century that black writing first flowered. Frederick Douglass, in his "Narrative" (1845), raised the slave narrative to a high art and went on to become a leading essayist and lecturer. He was followed at the end of the century by the prolific W. E. B. Du Bois, whose "The Souls of Black Folk" (1903) poignantly chronicled the tribulations of his people. Charles W. Chesnutt was a pioneering novelist of the turn of the century, just as Paul Laurence Dunbar raised black poetry to new heights of complexity and subtlety. With the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s, black American literature came into its own. The poetry and fiction of Zora Neale Hurston, Langston Hughes, Claude McKay, Countee Cullen, and James Weldon Johnson, the unclassifiable amalgam of poetry and prose that is Jean Toomer's "Cane" (1923), and Richard Wright's challenging novel "Native Son" (1940) were among the most distinguished literary works in the American literature of their time and the herald of the great writing to follow. ***This volume provides information on the eleven most significant black American writers through the Harlem Renaissance, featuring detailed biographies, a wide selection of critical extracts, and comprehensive bibliographies. ***"Writers of English: Lives and Works" is an ongoing series covering the entire range of literature in English from "Beowulf" to the present. Each volume contains biographies, biographical and critical extracts, and bibliographies of the authors covered, and features a series introduction by Harold Bloom, "The Life of the Author," as well as a special introduction to each title.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper). ***First impression of the true first edition - one of the titles in the 'Writers of English: Lives and Works' series of books. The books were published in both hardcover and paperback editions, and the hardcover editions are much harder to come by, as many were distributed to libraries. Uncommon in the UK. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
