Harlem Renaissance and Beyond: Literary Biographies of 100 Black Women Writers, 1900-1945

Ex-library. Very Good in Very Good jacket, 6 1/2 By 9 1/2`` No damage to book save the two Library stamps, No damage to DJ save the sticker on it's mylar covered spine and the fact that it is glued to the book.

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.
