Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872-1906) was an American novelist, short story writer, and poet during the turn of the 20th century. Born to ex-slave parents, Dunbar began writing at a very early age and had even published his first poems by the age of 16 in a local newspaper. Much of his work was written in the "e;African-American Vernacular"e; associated with the antebellum South, although he also employed conventional English in his novels and poems. Dunbar was among the first African-American writers to garner international acclaim for their work. This volume contains Dunbar's 1898 collection of short stories, "e;Folks from Dixie"e;, which contains sixteen short stories that explore African American life post-Civil War. A fantastic collection of powerful tales that offer a unique glimpse into the lives of African Americans at the turn of the century. Other notable works by this author include: "e;Oak and Ivy"e; (1892), "e;Majors and Minors"e; (1896), and "e;Lyrics of Lowly Life"e; (1896). Read & Co. Classics is proudly republishing this collection of classic short stories now complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author and original illustrations from E. W. Kemble.
