The Harlem Renaissance was the most influential single movement in
African American literary history. The movement laid the groundwork
for subsequent African American literature, and had an enormous
impact on later black literature world-wide. In its attention to a
wide range of genres and forms - from the roman a clef and the
bildungsroman, to dance and book illustrations - this book seeks to
encapsulate and analyze the eclecticism of Harlem Renaissance
cultural expression. It aims to re-frame conventional ideas of the
New Negro movement by presenting new readings of well-studied
authors, such as Zora Neale Hurston and Langston Hughes, alongside
analysis of topics, authors, and artists that deserve fuller
treatment. An authoritative collection on the major writers and
issues of the period, A History of the Harlem Renaissance takes
stock of nearly a hundred years of scholarship and considers what
the future augurs for the study of 'the New Negro'.
