Richard Wright is widely recognized as one of the most important
African-American writers and as a significant 20th-century author.
With the publication of Native Son in 1940, Wright established his
enduring reputation as a man of letters. With the immense critical
success of Native Son, Wright went on to author Black Boy, The
Outsider, and Eight Men. His writings reflect his experiences
growing up in the poverty and racial strife of the South, and his
thoughts on major social issues. This volume traces the critical
reception of Wright's major works, from the publication of Native
Son to the present day. An introductory chapter overviews the
critical response to his writings, while two biographical chapters
discuss his writings in relation to his life. Sections are then
devoted to Native Son, Black Boy, and The Outsider. Each of these
sections presents reviews and articles reflecting the best
criticism of Wright's works. A final section, "Richard Wright
Today," offers contemporary assessments of Wright's reputation, as
well as fascinating discussions of the recent Library of America
editions of his works.
