Author Biography

One of America's first great African-American novelists, Charles Chesnutt (1858–1932) exposed the harsh dimensions of Southern prejudice before and after the Civil War. Powerful and passionate, his novels present richly imagined characters, both black and white, striving to make better lives for themselves.
