Reviews
'This is a welcome addition to the scholarship on Wright (1908-60), especially in that it attempts to revise Wright's literary legacy ... All the essays are thoughtful and well researched. Two of the more outstanding submissions are Kathryn Roberts's 'Outside Joke: Humorlessness and Masculinity in Richard Wright' and Ernest Julius Mitchell's 'Tenderness in Early Richard Wright'. These essays reframe Wright's intentions and explode long-held myths of his views on gender and sexuality ... Highly Recommended' A. S.
