About This Item
New York: AMS Press Inc, 1972. Hardcover. v, 264p., preface, 8 full page illustrations plus profuse illustrations in text (silhouettes all, outline portraits to fullpagers, humorous silhouettes of cats vignette-size around margins). Nice copy of this reprint (originally 1902), hardbound in 7x5 inch black cloth boards spine-lettered gilt. No jacket, but this republication may have been issued without one. An immaculate copy, we see no flaw. An African American minister, Corrothers was deeply influenced by Dunbar's work with black dialect, and turned toward short stories and poems as a vehicle of expressing his profound involvement with African Americans of northern rural and urban backgrounds (Chicago especially, for the great variety of African American cultures to be found there).
