Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nella Larsen’s Letters, 1917-1935 is the first comprehensive collection of Nella Larsen’s letters. The continued interest on the part of readers, scholars, and publishers in Larsen’s life and works amounts to a veritable Larsen revival. While biographers and literary critics have referred to her correspondence, Larsen’s letters have until now been accessible mostly through archival research. Nella Larsen’s Letters, 1917-1935 will make Larsen’s correspondence more easily and broadly available to scholars, students, and general readers. The volume collects letters to Dorothy Peterson, Carl Van Vechten, Langston Hughes, James Weldon Johnson, Walter White, Edward Wasserman, Gertrude Stein, Charles S. Johnson, Robert Russa Moton, and George E. Haynes, and many letters are here published in their entirety for the first time. Larsen’s references to contemporary events, national organizations, writers, artists, and other prominent figures create a very lively sense of the intellectual and social context of the Harlem Renaissance and of Larsen’s active involvement in it. Larsen’s letters provide glimpses of the society of which she was a part through anecdotes by turns charming, amusing, irreverent, at times self-effacing, and witty. Larsen’s letters point to her wide-ranging readings. They shed light into her relationship with the art of fiction, into her novels Quicksand and Passing, as well as into her personality, her marriage, and her relationships with friends and other artists. Nella Larsen’s Letters, 1917-1935 is an indispensable companion to her fiction that will enable readers ranging from the general public to scholars and educators to gain a deeper understanding of both the woman and the timeless beauty of her art.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For decades, Virginia Woolf's work has been seen as part of the "women's writing" canon. Elizabeth Abel extracts Woolf from this women's tradition to position her in a different light, one that shows Woolf's role in a far-reaching modernist genealogy. Abel traces the strong echoes of Woolf in the work of four major writers from diverse cultural contexts: Nella Larsen, James Baldwin, Roland Barthes, and W. G. Sebald. As Abel shows, what Woolf called the "odd affinities" between herself and these successors give us an altogether different picture of the development of transnational modernism, with Woolf as a shadowy but important connection among disparate writers. By charting new pathways of twentieth-century literary transmission, Odd Affinities will appeal to students and scholars working in New Modernist studies, comparative literature, and African American studies"--

This book was released on 2016-09-01 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nella Larsen's novels Quicksand and Passing, published at the height of the Harlem Renaissance, fell out of print and were thus little known for many years. Now widely available and taught, Quicksand and Passing challenge conventional "tragic mulatta" and "passing" narratives. In part 1, "Materials," of Approaches to Teaching the Novels of Nella Larsen, the editor surveys the canon of Larsen's writing, evaluates editions of her works, recommends secondary readings, and compiles a list of useful multimedia resources for teaching. The essays in part 2, "Approaches," aim to help students better understand attitudes toward women and race during the Harlem Renaissance, the novels' relations to other artistic movements, and legal debates over racial identities in the early twentieth century. In so doing, contributors demonstrate how new and seasoned instructors alike might use Larsen's novels to explore a wide range of topics--including Larsen's short stories and letters, the relation between her writings and her biography, and the novels' discussion of gender and sexuality.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A critical examination of Fauset's Plum Bun and Comedy:American Style, and Larsen's Quicksand, recovering a subversive element in the Harlem Renaissance writers whose work was revived by feminists in the late 1970s. McLendon (English, College of William and Mary) explores how the white writers' 19th century stereotype of the "tragic mulatto" is reinvented in the work of the two writers and transformed into a concept of doubleness representing African-American experience.

Book excerpt: “ I mean to live and die by my own mind,” Zora Neale Hurston told the writer Countee Cullen. Arriving in Harlem in 1925 with little more than a dollar to her name, Hurston rose to become one of the central figures of the Harlem Renaissance, only to die in obscurity. Not until the 1970s was she rediscovered by Alice Walker and other admirers. Although Hurston has entered the pantheon as one of the most influential American writers of the 20th century, the true nature of her personality has proven elusive. Now, a brilliant, complicated and utterly arresting woman emerges from this landmark book. Carla Kaplan, a noted Hurston scholar, has found hundreds of revealing, previously unpublished letters for this definitive collection; she also provides extensive and illuminating commentary on Hurston’s life and work, as well as an annotated glossary of the organizations and personalities that were important to it. From her enrollment at Baltimore’s Morgan Academy in 1917, to correspondence with Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, Langston Hughes, Dorothy West and Alain Locke, to a final query letter to her publishers in 1959, Hurston’s spirited correspondence offers an invaluable portrait of a remarkable, irrepressible talent.

This book was released on 2022-04-07 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African American Literature in Transition, 1920-1930 presents original essays that map ideological, historical, and cultural shifts in the 1920s. Complicating the familiar reading of the 1920s as a decade that began with a spectacular boom and ended with disillusionment and bust, the collection explores the range and diversity of Black cultural production. Emphasizing a generative contrast between the ephemeral qualities of periodicals, clothes, and décor and the relative fixity of canonical texts, this volume captures in its dynamics a cultural movement that was fluid and expansive. Chapters by leading scholars are grouped into four sections: 'Habitus, Sound, Fashion'; 'Spaces: Chronicles of Harlem and Beyond'; 'Uplift Renewed: Religion, Protest, and Education,' and 'Serial Reading: Magazines and Periodical Culture.'

Book excerpt: Modernism as a global phenomenon is the focus of the essays gathered in this book. The term geomodernisms indicates their subjects' continuity with and divergence from commonly understood notions of modernism. The contributors consider modernism as it was expressed in the non-Western world; the contradictions at the heart of modernization (in revolutionary and nationalist settings, and with respect to race and nativism); and modernism's imagined geographies, pyschogeographies of distance and desire as viewed by the subaltern, the caste-bound, the racially mixed, the gender-determined.
