Black Women Poets of Harlem Renaissance

Thông tin sách: Black Women Poets of Harlem Renaissance (Paperback, 124 trang) – University Press Of America, 2003. Ngôn ngữ: Tiếng Anh.

Most of the writers on the literary achievements of the poets of Harlem Renaissance focus their attention on Langston Hughes, Claude McKay, Countee Cullen and W.E.B. DuBois. The women poets of this movement are either deliberately or inadvertently omitted or ignored. Black Women Poets of Harlem Renaissance presents a critical examination of the creative poetic achievements of five women writers during the Harlem Renaissance. This discussion is vital not only for public enlightenment, but also to validate the poetic achievements of Black women who wrote poetry for poetry, full of joy and passion. The validation of the poetic achievements of women in this movement should give us a full realization of the corpus of the Black literary achievements of this era.
