Description
Book SynopsisPresents a literary friendship, preserved in letters.
Trade Review"Unusually valuable for the history of modernism. This fascinating correspondence will create further interest in Toomer, Frank, and the mixed-race environment of the 1920s.”--Linda Wagner-Martin, author of Telling Women's Lives: The New Biography
“Readers and scholars will welcome this fully annotated and contextually framed collection of the alchemy that comes from the significant voices of Jean Toomer and Waldo Frank. This volume brings long-needed light to two figures whose reputations and influence on American letters has been skewed by the lack of mutually illuminating materials, until now."--Steve H. Cook, editor of The Correspondence Between Hart Crane and Waldo Frank
"A groundbreaking work of scholarship. These fascinating letters tell the story of Toomer and Frank's relationship as the writers shared their writing and criticized and commented on each other's work. An important addition to any serious collection on early Harlem Renaissance writers."--
