Watson, Steven. The Harlem Renaissance: Hub of African-American Culture, 1920-1930. Circles of the Twentieth Century.
New York: Pantheon Books, 1995. First Edition, As Stated. Uncorrected Bound Galley.
Square octavo, softbound, 240 pp. Illustrated. Near-Fine, with very slight soiling to covers. ÒIn this concise, lavishly illustrated history of the Harlem Renaissance, Steven Watson draws vivid portraits of the distinguished writers -- Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Countee Cullen, Claude McKay, and Jean Toomer -- who from 1920 to 1930 fromed a black literary constellation. He relates their stories in the context of Harlem in its heyday: the Cotton Club in full swing, the Savoy Ballroom full of lindyhoppers, drag balls at the Rockland Palace, wild rent parties, and steamy jazz sessions. It was also the Harlem of such black periodicals as The Crisis and Opportunity and of such Negrotarians as Carl Van Vechten and Charlotte Mason. With a brilliant eye for detail, Watson makes clear why this dynamic and fascinating movement was such a seminal one, and is considered to be one of the most important eras in twentieth-century American cultural history.Ó
