James V. Hatch sets the plays in a historical context as he describes the challenges presented to artists by the political and social climate of the time. The topics of the plays cover the realm of the human experience in styles as wide-ranging as poetry, farce, comedy, tragedy, social realism, and romance. Individual introductions to each play provide essential biographical background on the playwrights.
In the continuing rediscovery of writers and works from the Harlem Renaissance, this work serves as essential background for contemporary readers and is a valuable contribution to African American literary and theatrical scholarship.
