One of the best known and most widely read of early African
American writers, Charles W. Chesnutt published more than fifty
short stories, six novels, two plays, a biography of Frederick
Douglass, and countless essays, poems, letters, journals, and
speeches. Though he had light skin and was of mixed race, Chesnutt
self-identified as a black man, and his writing was often boldly
political, openly addressing problems of racial identity and
injustice in the late 19th century.
This collection of critical essays reevaluates the Chesnutt
legacy, introducing new scholarship reflective of the many facets
of his fiction, especially his sophisticated narrative
strategies.
