First published in 1901 and long out-of-print, The Marrow of
Tradition is in many respects the most artistically and
historically interesting of Charles W. Chesnutt's three novels of
Southern life. In this stirring tale of racial confrontation in a
reconstructionist Southern town, Chesnutt dramatically explores
themes which were to be developed by later American novelists: the
basic interdependence of white and black attitudes and actions, the
effects of a racial mythology on black and white alike. Above all,
The Marrow of Tradition affords the modern reader a swift-moving
plot and a memorable cast of characters-among them the imperious
Major Carteret, whose newspaper dominates the town of Wellington;
Dr. William Miller, a young Negro physician married to Mrs.
Carteret's unacknowledged octoroon half-sister; and Josh Green, a
laborer who plans to settle an old debt with the area's most
notorious white Negro-baiter. The work of Charles W. Chesnutt
(1858-1932) represents an important landmark in the history of
Negro fiction in America. Largely self-educated, Chesnutt was one
of the first American authors to directly challenge some of the
racial stereotypes to which an earlier generation of American
readers had become accustomed.
