Their Eyes Were Watching God is a key text in African American
literature. Its author Zora Neale Hurston has become an iconic
figure for her literary works and for her invaluable contribution
to documenting elements of black folk culture in the rural south
and in the Caribbean. This introductory book designed for students
explores Hurston's artistic achievements and her unique character:
her staunch individualism, her penchant for drama, her sometimes
controversial politics, her philosophical influences and her views
on gender relations. Lovalerie King explores Hurston's life and
analyses her major works and short stories. Historical, social,
political, and cultural contexts for Hurston's life and work,
including her key role in the development of the Harlem
Renaissance, are set out. The book concludes with an overview of
the reception of Hurston's work, both in her lifetime and up to the
present, as well as suggestions for further reading.
