Reviews

Introducing new material in addition to enhancing other studies of black women, this volume of biographical profiles opens new territory in 20th-century literary criticism. Henderson and Roses have unearthed a body of writing largely ignored until now, since most studies of the Harlem Renaissance have focused on male writers. Included are the major figures, such as Zora Neale Hurston, as well as many writers who have published only two or three pieces but whose work deserves attention. These short sketches, augmented by bibliographical listings and critical commentary, should provide the impetus for further interest and investigation into long-neglected works. A valuable reference tool recommended for most libraries.
