Description
American Critical Archives is a series of reference books that provide representative selections of contemporary reviews of the main works of major American authors. Providing reprints of over 760 reviews and checklists of nearly 950 others, this book represents the first comprehensive collection of contemporary reviews of the writing of Langston Hughes from 1926 until his death in 1967. Celebrated as a young poet of the Harlem Renaissance, his poetry appeared in The Crisis and The New Negro. His other works include the play The Mulatto, and poetry collected in Shakespeare of Harlem and Ask your Mama. This collection will prove indispensable not only to Langston Hughes specialists but to all students of twentieth-century African-American literature.
