Description

Explore the evolution of written representation in African-American literature with this scholarly work from Routledge. This book examines how oral storytelling traditions are captured in text, tracing the development of literary forms across different eras. The study analyzes the transition of the frame tale, looking at how an inside-the-text storyteller interacts with a listener. It compares these internal structures to the relationship between the writer and the reader. Readers will follow the progression from the late 19th century to the 1960s, observing how the placement of the Black spoken voice changes within literary frameworks. By studying authors such as Charles Chesnutt, Zora Neale Hurston, and Ralph Ellison, alongside later figures like Toni Cade Bambara and John Edgar Wideman, this text provides a deep look at cultural theory and literary criticism. It is a valuable resource for those studying the connection between oral traditions and written African-American narratives.
