The son of former slaves, Paul Laurence Dunbar was one of the most
prominent and publicly recognized figures in American literature at
the turn of the twentieth century. Thirty-three years old at the
time of his death in 1906, he had published four novels, four
collections of short stories, and fourteen books of poetry, not to
mention numerous songs, plays, and essays in newspapers and
magazines around the world. In the century following his death,
Dunbar slipped into relative obscurity, remembered mainly for his
dialect poetry or as a footnote to other more canonical figures
from the period. The Complete Stories of Paul Laurence Dunbar
showcases his gifts as a writer of short fiction and provides key
insights into the tensions and themes of Dunbar's literary
achievement. Through examining the 104 stories written by Dunbar
between 1890 and 1905, readers will be able to better understand
Dunbar's specific attempts to maintain his artistic integrity while
struggling with America's racist stereotypes. His work interrogated
the color-line that informed American life and dictated his role as
an artist in American letters. Editors Gene Jarrett and Thomas
Morgan identify major themes and implications in Dunbar's work.
Available in one convenient, comprehensive, and definitive volume
for the first time, The Complete Stories of Paul Laurence Dunbar
illustrates the complexity of his literary life and legacy. ABOUT
