Lyrics Of Love And Laughter, Paul Laurence Dunbar

Paul Laurence Dunbar Books

Lyrics of Love and Laughter was crafted following another severe round of pneumonia. With this work, however, Dunbar secured his reputation as the premier African-American poet in the United States at the time. Like earlier volumes, this book contained poems in both dialect and standard English, reflecting its mix of both sentimental and realistic depictions of African-American life. The book included eleven poems not previously collected within a book.

In Old Plantation Days, Paul Laurence Dunbar

Paul Laurence Dunbar Books

With this collection of short stories, Dunbar sought to draw on the success of his dialect poems by recreating and portraying the southern plantation during slavery. The stories focus on the stereotypical portrait of slaves as obedient workers happy to spend their lives in service of their benevolent owner. His attempt to find success was only partially realized, as his stories drew not only criticism but, in some cases, anger at their very stereotypical nature. The book itself, however, proved to be more lucrative than previous fiction works had been for the author.

When Malindy Sings, Paul Laurence Dunbar

Paul Laurence Dunbar Books

When Malindy Sings is illustrated with photographs taken by the Hampton Institute Camera Club, and also features decorations created by Margaret Armstrong. The title for this book comes from one of Dunbar's most well-known dialect poems, one which emphasizes the more soulful aspects and the heartfelt, impromptu music of many of his poems. The poem was inspired by his mother Matilda's habit of singing in the kitchen and was first published in 1896.

The Sport Of The Gods, Paul Laurence Dunbar

Paul Laurence Dunbar Books

Perhaps a reflection of the turmoil Dunbar faced personally as his health continued to decline and his marriage ended, Dunbar's fourth and final novel, The Sport of the Gods, is considered a protest novel. Received far better by critics than any previous novel, the book tells the story of Berry Hamilton, a black butler charged with theft by his white employers. The story follows the family through the hardships they encounter as a result of this experience.
