Chesnutt broke new ground in American literature w/ searching explorations of the meaning of race & innovative use of African-American speech & folklore. Rejecting genteel Victorian hypocrisy about miscegenation, lynching, & "passing", Chesnutt exposed the deformed logic of Jim Crow w/ novels & stories of formal clarity: creating, in the process, the modern African American novel. Here is the best of Chesnutt's work in the largest & most comprehensive edition ever published, presenting for the first time the full range of his achievement as a writer & social critic. "The Conjure Woman" (1899) introduced Chesnutt to the public as a writer of "conjure" tales, stories that explore black folklore & supernaturalism. That same year, he published "The Wife of His Youth, and Other Stories of the Color Line", stories set in Chesnutt's native North Carolina that dramatize the legacies of slavery & Reconstruction at the turn of the century. His first novel, "The House Behind the Cedars" (1900) tells, as no previous novel ever had, of racial passing. "The Marrow of Tradition" (1901), Chesnutt's masterpiece, is a powerful & bitter novel about the harsh reassertion of white dominance in a southern town at the end of the Reconstruction era, based largely on the Wilmington race riot. Nine uncollected short stories, including conjure tales omitted from "The Conjure Woman", round out a selection of the author's fiction. Eight essays highlight Chesnutt's prescient views on the paradoxes of race relations in America & the definition of race itself. * ABOUT THE EDITOR: WERNER SOLLORS teaches Afro-American Studies & English at Harvard University. His most recent book is "Neither Black Nor White Yet Both: Thematic Explorations of Interracial Literature". * ABOUT LIBRARY OF AMERICA: Library of America is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation's literary heritage by publishing, & keeping permanently in print, America's best & most significant writing.
