These specially commissioned essays highlight the artistry, complexity and diversity of a literary tradition that ranges from Lucy Terry to Toni Morrison. A wide range of topics are addressed, from the Harlem Renaissance to the Black Arts Movement, and from the performing arts to popular fiction. Together, the essays provide an invaluable guide to a rich, complex tradition of women writers in conversation with each other as they critique American society and influence American letters. Accessible and vibrant, with the needs of undergraduate students in mind, this Companion will be of great interest to anybody who wishes to gain a deeper understanding of this important and vital area of American literature. 546 English 650 0 American literature |xAfrican American authors |xHistory and criticism. 650 0 American literature |xWomen authors |xHistory and criticism. 650 0 African American women |xIntellectual life. 650 0 African American women in literature. 650 0 Women and literature |zUnited States |xHistory. 700 1 Mitchell, Angelyn, |d1960- |eeditor. 700 1 Taylor, Danille K., |eeditor. 730 0 Cambridge companions online. |5net 776 08 |z0-521-67582-0 776 08 |z0-521-85888-7 830 0 Cambridge companions to literature. 906 BOOK
