Book summary


The Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s and '30s was an unparalleled artistic movement that produced a staggering amount of great African-American writing. This comprehensive anthology brings together fiction, poetry, and essays by 45 of the best writers of the period. The roster includes not only the most celebrated, such as Zora Neale Hurston, Langston Hughes, Jean Toomer, James Weldon Johnson, Richard Wright, and Claude McKay, but an array of lesser-known figures whose work will be a revelation to most readers.
