Description
Nella Larsen's novel, published in 1929, is a rich and thought-provoking exploration of the complex issues surrounding race and identity. This Norton Critical Edition features a detailed introduction, explanatory annotations, and a Note on the Text, providing a thorough understanding of the novel and its historical context. The book includes a detailed "Background and Contexts" section, which connects the novel to the events of the day, including the sensational Rhinelander/Jones case of 1925. Contemporary reviews and published accounts from the time offer a nuanced view of the cultural dimensions of race and passing in America and abroad. Larsen's own statements on the novel and on passing, as well as a selection of her letters and writings, provide additional perspective. The edition also includes criticism from diverse scholars, a Chronology, and a Selected Bibliography, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding this important work of American literature.
