The acknowledgment and admiration of fiction by women of the Harlem Renaissance is growing rapidly. Their stories encompass unique premises and perceptions and, taken as a whole, they balance the historically male-dominated perspectives in Harlem Renaissance literature.
In two volumes, Essential Short Stories by Women of the Harlem Renaissance presents the best short stories by distinguished women writers-from those who have earned more widespread attention to those who haven’t yet but are just as deserving.
Informed and comprehensive, the collection combines stories by women most admired during the Harlem Renaissance and the stories most studied since then. The ‘most admired’ are those recognized in national African American literary contests conducted during the Harlem Renaissance. The ‘most studied’ are those reprinted in anthologies, from then until now, more than any others.
