With the publication of this text, Karla Holloway becomes the first
to produce a book-length analysis of Hurston's use of language in
her four major novels. . . . Holloway supports all of her
contentions by combining studies of African and Afro-American
culture with Euramerican critical theories of semiology and
structuralism. The result is a fascinating study of the shifting
language of the narrators in each of Hurston's novels, and how
these shifts relate to the emotional states of the characters and
to the novelist herself. Choice In The Character of the Word: The
Texts of Zora Neale Hurston, Karla F.C. Holloway breaks new ground
by placing Hurston's life and writings in a context at once
literary and political. In a political sense, Hurston envisioned
herself as the embodiment of her African heritage and felt that her
writing was its message. From a literary perspective, Hurston's
work had a tremendous influence on her daughters: writers such as
Alice Walker and Toni Morrison. Writing from the perspective of a
black feminist, Holloway defines the milieu in which Hurston came
of age and emphasizes the influence of this community upon her
writing.
