Langston Hughes was the first black writer to be taken seriously by
the general literary public, and with the current resurgence of
interest in the evolution of black American writing, he continues
to be a primary subject of study for scholars and students
throughout the world. This bio-bibliography is the first annotated
collection of materials on Hughes's life and work, and compiler
Thomas Mikolyzk has made the work even more valuable by verifying
the relative availability of each item cited and noting where
certain materials can be found. The up-to-date listings provide
both primary and secondary sources, and focus on works by Hughes as
well as those written about him. The work begins with a chronology
of events in Hughes's life, followed by a brief biography. The
annotations are then divided into four major sections: books by
Hughes, shorter works by Hughes, books about Hughes, and articles
about Hughes. Each citation is given an alphanumeric code to denote
its category and entry number. All collectable published works by
Hughes are cited here, as is virtually every critical piece
published throughout the world, including contemporary reviews,
scholarly articles, essays and book-length commentaries, and
dissertations. In addition to these annotated citations, two
appendixes are included. The first provides an alphabetical listing
of Hughes's works, including place and date of publication, and the
second describes special collections in America of Hughes's
personal material as well as detailing The Langston Hughes Review,
the official journal of The Langston Hughes Society. Three indexes,
covering author, title, and subject, conclude the work. This book
will be an important resource for courses in American literature
and African-American history, and a significant addition to high
school, public, and academic libraries.
