Essays on Art, Race, Politics, and World Affairs (Lh9): Volume 9
ISBN: 9780826213945 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 648 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Among the most prolific of American writers, Langston Hughes gained international attention and acclaim in nearly every genre of writing. While scholars and general readers have enjoyed relatively easy access to most of his writings, Hughes's work in one genre "the essay" has gone largely unnoticed. From his radical pieces praising revolutionary socialist ideology in the 1930s to the more conservative, previously unpublished "Black Writers in a Troubled World," which he wrote a year before his death, Hughes used the essay form as a vehicle through which to comment on the contemporary...

Volume 2 includes the books "Shakespeare in Harlem" (1942), "Jim Crow's Last Stand" (1943), "Fields of Wonder" (1947), and "One-Way Ticket" (1949). Starting around 1940, Hughes turned away from radical socialism toward strong support for the national war effort; as a poet, he resumed his experimentation in the blues, as "Shakespeare in Harlem" brilliantly demonstrates. With this change in political emphasis came a renewed commitment to the achievement of civil rights for blacks, which "Jim Crow's Last Stand" vigorously asserts. In contrast, "Fields of Wonder" was Hughes's only book devoted...

With the publication of his first book of poems, The Weary Blues, in 1926, Langston Hughes electrified readers and launched a renaissance in black writing in America. The poems Hughes wrote celebrated the experience of invisible men and women: of slaves who "rushed the boots of Washington"; of musicians on Lenox Avenue; of the poor and the lovesick; of losers in "the raffle of night." They conveyed that experience in a voice that blended the spoken with the sung, that turned poetic lines into the phrases of jazz and blues, and that ripped through the curtain separating high from...
