When twenty-seven-year-old Margaret Walker's first collection of
poems, For My People, won the Yale Poets Award in 1942, she was
just beginning her long and distinguished career as a poet,
novelist, biographer, and teacher. When her novel Jubilee was
published to great acclaim in 1966, the New York Review of Books
said, "[It] chronicles the triumph of a free spirit over many kinds
of bondages." Jubilee is noteworthy for being one of the first
novels to present African American history from both a black and
female perspective. It is a historical and fictional account of
Walker's great-grandmother's life, from slavery through
Reconstruction, as told to Walker by her maternal grandmother. In
Trumpeting a Fiery Sound, Jacqueline Miller Carmichael examines the
novel's genesis and composition, the process of revision and
publication, the work's structure and narrative strategies, its use
of history and folklore, and its critical reception in the three
decades since its first publication.
