Synopsis
Frank J. Webb: Fiction, Essays, Poetry presents the classic work "The Garies and Their Friends" by African-American author Frank Webb. First published in London in 1857, "The Garies and Their Friends" is a novel that has the distinction of being the very first chronicle of the experience of free blacks in the pre-Civil War Northeast. Furthermore, Frank J Webb: Fiction, Essays, Poetry offers a wealth of material by Webb that has never before been published in book form, including the stories "Marvin Hoyle" and "Two Wolves and a Lamb", essays, and a number of poems. Illustrated with photographs presumed to be of the writer and his wife Mary Webb, and featuring an introduction by the editor, Professor Werner Sollors of Harvard University, Frank J. Webb: Fiction, Essays, Poetry is a worthy contribution to library and personal literature shelves and highly recommended.
