The growing interest in African-American literature that began in the 1960s led to the rediscovery of earlier African-American writers, one of whom is Jean Toomer, author of "Cane". It is an innovative literary work, part drama, part poetry, part fiction. BACKGROUNDS contains generous excerpts from Jean Toomer's correspondence w/ fellow writers Sherwood Anderson, Waldo Frank, & Allen Tate, & w/ his publisher, Horace Liveright. Darwin T. Turner's "Introduction" to the 1975 Liveright edition of "Cane", reprinted here, presents the historical & literary backgrounds of the work, as well as additional biographical information on Toomer. CRITICISM, both contemporary & recent, on Cane & Toomer is wide-ranging & includes essays by W.E.B. Du Bois, Gorham B. Munson, Robert Bone, Patricia Watkins, Lucinda H. MacKethan, Nellie Y. McKay, & Darwin T. Turner. * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Jean Toomer (1894?1967) was born in Washington, D.C., the son of educated blacks of Creole stock. Literature was his first love & he regularly contributed avant garde poetry & short stories to such magazines as Dial, Broom, Secession, Double Dealer, & Little Review. After a literary apprenticeship in New York, Toomer taught school in rural Georgia. His experiences there led to the writing of "Cane". * ABOUT THE EDITOR: Darwin T. Turner was professor of English at the University of Iowa & head of its Afro-American World Studies Program. He wrote extensively about Jean Toomer. He was the author of "In a Minor Chord: Three Afro-American Writers & Their Search for Identity", "Katharsis", & "Nathaniel Hawthorne's 'The Scarlet Letter'" He edited, among other books, "The Wayward & the Seeking: Selected Writings by Jean Toomer", "Afro-American Writers", & "Black American Literature: Essays, Poetry, Fiction, Drama". Professor Turner's poems were published in numerous journals, as were his many articles & reviews, most concerned w/ Afro-American writers. * ABOUT NORTON CRITICAL EDITIONS: Each Norton Critical Edition includes an authoritative text, contextual & source materials, & a wide range of interpretations--from contemporary perspectives to the most current critical theory--as well as a bibliography, &, in most cases, a chronology of the author's life & work. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & via Mandatory USPS PRIORITY INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to international destinations at our posted rates.
