The story of the sonnet's appeal to African American poets from the nineteenth century through the tumultuous twentieth and into the twenty-first, even as sonnet writing remained a vexed pursuit for black poets, for black poetry anthologizers, for Black Arts advocates, and for Black Studies academics, is rich and surprising. Scholarship on black sonnets is only beginning to catch up with the continued output of black sonnets over the past century and a half, particularly in the post-Black Art years. Historically, academic study of African American literature has focused on four concerns: the historical and economic conditions of production and publication of black literature; the political and cultural importance of black literature in America; genres of and trends in black literature; and the nature of the literature as reflective of the black experience. This literary history of African American sonnets engages with these concerns but also opens up a fifth conversation: auxiliary genealogies of influence for black aesthetic production that foreground form and that promote new conversations about form generally: how exactly it enables participation and protest, the overthrow and undermining of aesthetic expectation. Thus, Robbins uses the sonnet as a case study for exploring the broader literary history of African American literature, offering a thorough analysis of the contentious relationship of an old world poetic form to new world poetry"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 223 - 243) and index. 505 0 $a Tracing tradition and influence -- Suffering, love, bondage, and protest -- Antecedents (1768-1889) -- Periodical sonnets from Dunbar to McKay, 1890-1922 -- Anthologies and canon formation, 1923-1967 -- Power lines : the black aesthetic and the black sonnet. 648 7 $a 1800-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a American poetry $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Sonnets, American $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a American poetry $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a American poetry $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a American poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807348 650 7 $a American poetry $x African American authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807349 650 7 $a Sonnets, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01126612 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117012032.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3FD6C7AE072811ED93C2E7E557ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
