Product Description
Study of Jean Toomer centers on Toomer's address of race in his development as a writer; the South as a region that inspired him to focus on an examination of race; and after publication of his novel, CANE, eight years of correspondence tapping into an extended dialogue pertaining to issues about race. This biocritical study begins in January 1916 when Toomer entered the American College of Physical Training in Chicago, and ends in April 1931, when Toomer recorded that he would no longer address issues of race in his writing.
