Paul Laurence Dunbar: Poet of His People (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781469608549)

This is the only biography ever published singly of the young black who struggled against the most grinding poverty, who never completed his education as he desired, and who yet became famous when just twenty-four years of age. Enthusiastic readers of his poetry, novels, stories, and sketches turned appreciation of his work into a vogue. More than a biography, this is also a critical and comparative study of Dunbar's various books.

Originally published in 1936.
