The House Behind the Cedars (Modern Library Classics)by Charles Chesnutt
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The House Behind the Cedars, which many consider Charles Chesnutts finest novel, tells of John and Lena Walden, mulatto siblings who pass for white in the postbellum American South. The drama that unfolds as they travel between black and white worlds constitutes a riveting portrait of the shifting and intractable nature of race in American life. This edition revitalizes a much-neglected masterpiece by one of our most important African-American writers. As Werner Sollors writes, “William Dean Howells did not overstate his case when he compared Chesnutts works with those by Turgenev, Maupassant, and James . . . and [Chesnutt] has become one of the most important ‘crossover authors from the African-American tradition.” About the AuthorJudith Jackson Fossett, associate professor of English and American Studies and Ethnicity at the University of Southern California, is the author of Illuminated Darkness: Slavery and Its Shadows in Nineteenth-Century America and the editor of Race Consciousness: African-American Studies for the New Century.
