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.

Wilson. ***'Black American prose writing emerged in the late eighteenth century with the slave narrative, a form that Frederick Douglass brought to its artistic culmination in his "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass" (1845). Shortly thereafter, the first novels by black Americans were written: William Wells Brown's "Clotel" (1853), Frank J. Webb's "The Garies and Their Friends" (1857), and Harriet E. Wilson's "Our Nig" (1859). The late nineteenth century saw the emergence of such dynamic figures as Martin R. Delany, the champion of Pan-Africanism; Charles W. Chesnutt, the most successful early black novelist; and W. E. B. Du Bois, perhaps the greatest black writer and thinker of his time. The novels of Paul Laurence Dunbar, Sutton E. Griggs, Pauline E. Hopkins, and Oscar Micheaux, the critical work of William Stanley Braithwaite, and James Weldon Johnson's challenging "Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man" (1912) showed that by the early decades of the twentieth century black American writing had come into its own. ***This volume provides information on the thirteen most significant black American prose writers up to the early twentieth century, 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.

In "Harlem Shadows" (1922) Claude McKay united traditional English poetic meters with radical expressions of racial protest; Georgia Douglas Johnson's poetry addressed issues of both race and gender; and Langston Hughes utilized free verse in expressing a wide spectrum of moods and themes. Johnson and Hughes also pioneered black drama, and they were followed by such playwrights and filmmakers as Randolph Edmonds, Abram Hill, and Frank Wilson. Jean Toomer's "Cane" (1923), a remarkable medley of prose, poetry, and drama, has become a landmark in American literature. In the 1930s Arna Bontemps, Sterling A. Brown, Countee Cullen, and others carried on the poetic tradition, establishing a rich legacy upon which modern black poets have continued to draw.***This volume provides information on the ten most significant black American poets and dramatists of 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.
