My Soul Has Grown Deep Classics of Early African-American Literature John Edgar Wideman Published by Literature - United States

Author: John Edgar Wideman

Publisher: Literature - United States

Description:
Unsurpassed in their power and depth of insight, African-American writers have produced some of the richest and most eloquent works in the American literary canon. In both famous and neglected works, black authors from colonial days on have related their struggles and achievements in haunting personal narratives, inspiring oratory, and impassioned verse. What has so far been missing is a truly representative sampling of early black American literature, cutting across genres and featuring literary icons like Frederick Douglass and W.E.B. DuBois, as well as including lesser-known works such as The Life and Adventures of Nat Love and A Red Record by Ida B.Wells. Here for the first time, these 12 works are collected in a single volume and recognized as 'classics' of African-American literature. Award winning author and scholar John Edgar Wideman offers his collection of the finest early African-American writing. With extensive, self-contained entries by authors ranging from the Rev. Richard Allen (1760-1831) through Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872-1906), the collection is diverse enough to represent the full range of black literary output, yet focused enough for the reader to learn about the early period of this literary tradition in detail. Each section in the book is preceded by a comprehensive headnote on the writer's life and work. Culled by an author whose own writing never fails to draw attention and inspire praise, this collection is the fruit of a lifetime's immersion in some of the very best American writing. It is indispensable for literature lovers, historians, students, and anyone interested in learning about the cultural heritage of America. 1270 page hardcover, by Running Press
