Zora Neale Hurston and Langston Hughes.

Catalog description

This course addresses works of two well-known authors who knew each other well: Zora Neale Hurston and Langston Hughes. Students in this course read their work in myriad forms: manifestoes, autobiographies, fiction, poetry, and the play, Mule Bone that became the bone of contention between them. Students explore these works in critical and early 20th-century literary-historical context, especially the Harlem Renaissance.
