This book, a critical edition of a previously unpublished 1935 manuscript, makes \u003cem\u003eA Drama of the Southwest\u003c\/em\u003e available to readers for the first time. The play provides a vivid glimpse into the social world of the artists who mined Taos for creative and spiritual renewal in the early twentieth century, and editor Dekker provides cultural and literary historical context, arguing for Toomer’s continuing creative power and significance at a time in his career that has been largely overlooked by critics.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of New Mexico Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52580487889176,"sku":"9780826356383","price":30.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/a-drama-of-the-southwest-the-critical-edition-of-a-forgotten-play-hardback-9780826356383","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
