Description

Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1901. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Good. 329p. Original orange cloth lettered in cloth. Covers soiled; dampsatin to top right of front cover; some rubbing to title lettering on spine. Rear inner hinge cracked and neatly repaired with archival materials; binding firm and tight. Circular stain to outer margin of first four leaves which includes the title page. Interior generally clean with a few scattered smudges to pages. A used and mildly worn hardcover book in no more than good condition. Chesnutt's controversial fifth book. Chesnutt (1858-1932) was a white Ohio novelist who wrote of the struggles of Black Americans in his era. His earlier fiction had an Uncle Remus lfavor which made them popular with the reading public; in THE MARROW OF TRADITION, however, his writing was more bitter and overly political, alienating and offending his readers. The novel is set amidst the 1898 Wilimington Race Riots and deals with lynching, racial miscegenation, and other sensitive issues. This work sold poorly and more or less ended Chesnutt's literary career. Chesnutt continued his interest in racial equality and became a prominent member of the NAACP.
