About This Item
University of Illinois Press, 1980. 1ST. SOFTCOVER. VERY GOOD. Publisher : University of Illinois Press; First Edition (September 1, 1980) Language : English Paperback : 408 pages ISBN-10 : 0252008073 ISBN-13 : 978-0252008078 Item Weight : 1.23 pounds Dimensions : 9.05 x 5.94 x 1.04 inches SUN FADED SPINE Zora Neale Hurston transformed each hour of her life into something bubbling, exuberant, and brimming with joy. Robert Hemenway’s biography is a towering portrait of the novelist, folklorist, and anthropologist. Drawing on archival documents and interviews with people who knew her, Hemenway explores Hurston’s art and work, from her extraordinary novels and autobiography to a popular treatment of black folkways that revealed her deep commitment to the black folk tradition. He also provides a sensitive look at her two marriages; her relationships with Mrs. R. Osgood Mason, Franz Boas, and Langston Hughes; her time as a member of the black literati of the 1920s and 1930s; and the penniless final years leading to her death.
