The growing interest in Afro-American litera ture that began in the 1960s led to the rediscovery of earlier Afro-American writers, one of whom was Jean Toomer, author of Cane. Originally published in 1923, Cane is generally consid ered a principle literary masterpiece of the Harlem
Renaissance. It is an innovative work--part drama, part poetry, part fiction.
"Backgrounds" contains generous excerpts from Jean Toomer's correspondence with fellow writers Sherwood Anderson, W-aldo Frank, and Allen Tate, and with his publisher, Horace kivelight. Darwin T. Turner's "Introduction" (to the 1975 Liveright edition of Cane), reprinted here, presents the historical and literary backgrounds to the work, as well as additional bi(~graphical information on Toomer.
Critical commentary, both contemporary and more recent, on Catze and Toomer is wideanging, lncIuded are essays by W. E. B. Du Bois, Gotham B. Munson, Robert Bone, Patricia Watkins, Lucinda H. MacKethan, Nellie "L McKaand Darwin T.Turner.
