The Strength Of Gideon, Paul Laurence Dunbar Jan 1900

The Strength Of Gideon, Paul Laurence Dunbar

Paul Laurence Dunbar Books

Dunbar's second collection of short stories echoed his works of poetry in that it was a combination of works full of sentimental humor and works that told of the harsher sides of the African-American experience, both before and after emancipation. Critics tended to promote the sentimental stories at the expense of his harsher accounts of that experience. Later critics, however, suggest these stories demonstrate Dunbar's criticism of racial inequality in American society.


The Love Of Landry, Paul Laurence Dunbar Jan 1900

The Love Of Landry, Paul Laurence Dunbar

Paul Laurence Dunbar Books

Recovering from a strong bout with pneumonia, Dunbar spent time in Colorado attempting to recoup his health. One result of his time there was his second novel, The Love of Landry. The heroine, much like Dunbar, is in Colorado to recuperate and falls in love with a cowboy. Like his previous novel, his second attempt did not find favor with critics, and many focused on what they considered a weak presentation of characters.
