| Résumé : |
This book attempts to assess a half century of Afro-American poetry published from 1890 to 1940, focusing on the human experience--individual and collective--from which this poetry was produced. In analyzing the place of black poetry in the American literary domain, attention is given to historical, religious, sociological, and cultural influences, and the life of each poet is examined in relation to his work. Following an introductory chapter on the Negro in the United States and the origins of 18th and 19th century black poetry, the contents include: "The Negro in the American Tradition in Dunbar's Time"; "Paul Laurence Dunbar," which presents a biographical sketch and studies Dunbar and the Southern plantation tradition and other themes in his poetry; "Dunbar's Contemporaries"; "The Negro Renaissance," which analyzes the role of W.E.B. Du Bois, the problems of self-definition, and the themes and conflicts of the poetry of the Negro Renaissance; "Claude McKay," which discusses the influences of Harlem and the lyricism of militancy in McKay's works; "James Weldon Johnson," which explores the poetry of Dunbar's disciple; "Langston Hughes," which discusses the universal appeal of Hughes's poetry; "Sterling Brown," which stresses fate and survival; and "Conclusion."
