{"product_id":"the-complete-poems-of-paul-paul-laurence-dunbar-9781443774420","title":"The Complete Poems of Paul Laurence Dunbar","description":"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 \"African-American Vernacular\" 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 a complete collection of Dunbar's powerful poetry, presented here in a brand new edition for the enjoyment of a new generation. A fantastic collection of powerful poetry that offers a unique glimpse into the lives of African Americans at the turn of the century. Highly recommended for those interested in African-American history and literature. Other notable works by this author include: \"Oak and Ivy\" (1892), \"Majors and Minors\" (1896), and \"Lyrics of Lowly Life\" (1896). Ragged Hand is proudly republishing this classic collection of poetry, complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Laurence Dunbar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1443774421\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781443774420\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ragged Hand\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/27\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 688\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.51d","brand":"Paul Laurence Dunbar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44410683490559,"sku":"9781443774420","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ff056361-5a96-4852-bf1f-96d5c37aef32.jpg?v=1697537298","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-complete-poems-of-paul-paul-laurence-dunbar-9781443774420","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
