Publisher description
First Published in 2000. This study stands alone in pairing black and white American women writers across the twentieth century on the intertwined issues of female beauty and literary aesthetics. Other studies published during the late 1980s and early 1990s-such as Aldon Lynn Nielsen's Reading Race: White American Poets and the Racial Discourse in the Twentieth Century (1988), Dana B. Nelson's The Word in Black and White: Reading "e;Race"e; in American Literature, 1638-1867 (1992), Eric J. Sundquist's To Wake the Nations: Race in the Making of American Literature (1993), and Laura Doyle's Bordering on the Body: The Racial Matrix of Modern Fiction and Culture (1994)-have also engaged in the process of reading racialist discourse in white texts or in attempting to construct a dialogue between black and white texts. None, however, has been concerned with female beauty and literary aesthetics in relation to twentieth-century American women writers and race
