"Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872-1906) overcame racism and poverty to become one of the best-known authors in America, and the first African American to earn a living from his poetry, fiction, drama, journalism, and lectures. This original collection includes the short novel The Sport of the Gods, Dunbar's essential essays and short stories, and his finest poems, such as "Sympathy," all of which explore crucial social, political, and humanistic issues at the dawn of the twentieth century. A hundred years after Dunbar's untimely death, this hugely talented writer is due for a major rediscovery."--Jacket.
