Sexism, racism, self-hatred, and romantic love: all figure in prominently in this scholarly-but nicely hard-boiled-discussion of the bond between the famous Paul Laurence Dunbar and his wife Alice. Eleanor Alexander's analysis of turn-of-the-twentieth-century black marriage is required reading for every student of American, especially African-American, heterosexual relationships."-Nell Painter, Edwards Professor of American History, Princeton University, Author of Sojourner Truth, A Life, A Symbol "Rich in documentation and generous in analysis, Lyrics of Sunshine and Shadow advances our understanding of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century African American social and cultural history in compelling and unexpected ways. By exposing the devastating consequences of unequal power dynamics and gender relations in the union of the celebrated writers, Paul Laurence Dunbar and Alice Ruth Moore, and by examining the hidden underside of the Dunbars' storybook romance where alcohol, sex, and violence prove fatal, Eleanor Alexander produces a provocative, nuanced interpretation of late Victorian courtship and marriage, of post-emancipation racial respectability and class mobility, of pre-modern sexual rituals and color conventions in an emergent elite black society."-Thadious M. Davis, Vanderbilt University "Eleanor Alexander's vivid account of the most famous black writer of his day, Paul Laurence Dunbar, and his wife Alice, illuminates the world of the African American literati at the opening of the twentieth century. The Dunbars' fairy-tale romance ended abruptly, when Alice walked out on her alcoholic, abusive spouse. Alexander's access to scores of intimate letters and her sensitive interpretation of the Dunbars mercurial highs and lows reveal the tragic consequences of mixing alcohol, ambition and amour. The Dunbars were precursors for another doomed duo: Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald. Alexander's poignant story of the Dunbars sheds important light on love and violence among DuBois's "talented tenth." -Catherine Clinton, author of Fanny Kemble's Civil Wars "Lyrics of Sunshine and Shadow debunks Dunbar myths... Lyrics asks us to consider the ways in which racism and sexism operate together."- The CrisisOn February 10, 1906, Alice Ruth Moore, estranged wife of renowned early twentieth-century poet Paul Laurence Dunbar, boarded a streetcar, settled comfortably into her seat, and opened her newspaper to learn of her husband's death the day before. Paul Laurence Dunbar, son of former slaves, whom Frederick Douglass had dubbed "the most promising young colored man in America," was dead from tuberculosis at the age of 33. Lyrics of Sunshine and Shadow traces the tempestuous romance of America's most noted African-American literary couple. Drawing on a variety of love letters, diaries, journals, and autobiographies, Eleanor Alexander vividly recounts Dunbar's and Moore's tumultuous affair, from a courtship conducted almost entirely through letters and an elopement brought on by Dunbar's brutal, drunken rape of Moore, through their passionate marriage and its eventual violent dissolution in 1902. Moore, once having left Dunbar, rejected his every entreaty to return to him, responding to his many letters only once, with a blunt, one-word telegram ("No"). This is a remarkable story of tragic romance among African-American elites struggling to define themselves and their relationships within the context of post-slavery America. As such, it provides a timely examination of the ways in which cultural ideology and politics shape and complicate conceptions of romantic love. 606 $aAuthors' spouses$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aAuthors, American$y20th century$vBiography 606 $aPoets, American$y19th century$vBiography 606 $aMarried people$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aAfrican American authors$vBiography 606 $aAfrican Americans$vBiography 615 0$aAuthors' spouses 615 0$aAuthors, American 615 0$aPoets, American 615 0$aMarried people 615 0$aAfrican American authors 615 0$aAfrican Americans 676 $a811/.4 676 $aB 700 $aAlexander$b Eleanor$g(Eleanor C.)$01477524 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780181203321 996 $aLyrics of sunshine and shadow$93692724 997 $aUNINA LEADER 06412nam 2200637Ia 450 001 9910792093603321 005 20231031114344.0 010 $a1-283-58867-6 010 $a9786613901125 010 $a1-78052-929-5 024 7 $a10.1163/9781780529295 035 $a(CKB)2560000000093111 035 $a(EBL)1019358 035 $a(OCoLC)815973008 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000716272 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11956132 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000716272 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10706518 035 $a(PQKB)11076378 035 $a(nllekb)BRILL9781780529295 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1019358 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10597043 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL390112 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1019358 035 $a(EXLCZ)992560000000093111 100 $a20120916d2012 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aStudies in writing$b[electronic resource] $hVolume 25$iLearning to write effectively $ecurrent trends in European research /$fedited by Mark Torrance, ...

European researchers from a broad range of disciplines brought together under the European Research Network on Learning to Write Effectively were instructed to contribute short papers summarising their current activity. The papers are grouped around the four main themes. The first deals with issues around the development of basic (\'low-level\') writing skills, mainly in the early years of education. The second section focuses directly on issues around the teaching and learning of writing. This is divided into five parts that describe: evaluations of different forms of writing instruction, research exploring the processes by which writers learn, methods of text assessment in educational contexts, research exploring the effects of various learner and teacher variables on the development of writing skill, and conceptions of and variation in educational text genres. The third section reports research exploring effective document design. The final section has a main focus on tools for exploring the writing process. 410 0$aStudies in Writing$v25. 606 $aWriting 606 $aWritten communication 615 0$aWriting. 615 0$aWritten communication. 676 $a808.042071 676 $a808.0666 701 $aTorrance$b Mark$01528709 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792093603321 996 $aStudies in writing$93851694 997 $aUNINA
