Since the accidental rediscovery and republication of Harriet Wilson's Our Nig in 1983, the works of dozens of 19th and early 20th century black writers have been recovered and reprinted. There is now a significant revival of interest in the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s; and in the last decade alone, several major assessments of 18th and 19th century African American literature have been published. Early African American literature builds on a strong oral tradition of songs, folktales, and sermons. Slave narratives began to appear during the late 18th and early 19th century, and later writers began to engage a variety of themes in diverse genres. A central objective of this reference book is to provide a wide-ranging introduction to the first 200 years of African American literature. Included are alphabetically arranged entries for 78 black writers active between 1745 and 1945. Among these writers are essayists, novelists, short story writers, poets, playwrights, and autobiographers. Each entry is written by an expert contributor and provides a biography, a discussion of major works and themes, an overview of the author's critical reception, and primary and secondary bibliographies. The volume concludes with a selected, general bibliography. 606 $aAmerican literature$xAfrican American authors$vBio-bibliography$vDictionaries 606 $aAmerican literature$xAfrican American authors$vDictionaries 606 $aAfrican Americans$xIntellectual life$vDictionaries 606 $aAfrican American authors$vBiography$vDictionaries 606 $aAfrican Americans in literature$vDictionaries 615 0$aAmerican literature$xAfrican American authors 615 0$aAmerican literature$xAfrican American authors 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xIntellectual life 615 0$aAfrican American authors 615 0$aAfrican Americans in literature 676 $a810.9/896073 676 $aB 701 $aNelson$b Emmanuel S$g(Emmanuel Sampath),$f1954-$0175948 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962134303321 996 $aAfrican American authors, 1745-1945$94355623 997 $aUNINA
