Among contributions by Gwendolyn Bennett, Countee Cullen, Langston Hughes, and Wallace Thurman, \"Sweat\" stood out both for its artistic accomplishment and its exploration of rural Southern black life. In \"Sweat\" Hurston claimed the voice that animates her mature fiction, notably the 1937 novel \u003ci\u003eTheir Eyes Were Watching God\u003c\/i\u003e; the themes of marital conflict and the development of spiritual consciousness were introduced as well. \"Sweat\" exemplifies Hurston's lifelong concern with women's relation to language and the literary possibilities of black vernacular.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis casebook for the story includes an introduction by the editor, a chronology of the author's life, the authoritative text of \"Sweat,\" and a second story, \"The Gilded Six-Bits.\" Published in 1932, this second story was written after Hurston had spent years conducting fieldwork in the Southern United States. The volume also includes Hurston's groundbreaking 1934 essay, \"Characteristics of Negro Expression,\" and excerpts from her autobiography, \u003ci\u003eDust Tracks on a Road\u003c\/i\u003e. An article by folklorist Roger Abrahams provides additional cultural contexts for the story, as do selected blues and spirituals. Critical commentary comes from Alice Walker, who led the recovery of Hurston's work in the 1970s, Robert Hemenway, Henry Louis Gates, Gayl Jones, John Lowe, Kathryn Seidel, and Mary Helen Washington.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e Chronology\u003cbr\u003e \"\u003cbr\u003eSweat\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Background to the Story\u003cbr\u003e     Research\u003cbr\u003e     Characteristics of Negro Expressions\u003cbr\u003e     Negotiating Respect: Patterns of Presentation among Black Women\u003cbr\u003e     A Selection of Blues and Spirituals\u003cbr\u003e     Genesis 1-3\u003cbr\u003e     Zora Neale Hurston and the Speakerly Text\u003cbr\u003e     The Gilded Six-Bits\u003cbr\u003e Critical Essays\u003cbr\u003e     From Zora Neale Hurston: A Literary Biography\u003cbr\u003e     Breaking out of the Conventions of Dialect\u003cbr\u003e     The Artist in the Kitchen: The Economies of Creativity in Hurston's \"\u003cbr\u003eSweat\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e     From Jump at the Sun: Zora Neale Hurston's Cosmic Comedy\u003cbr\u003e     \"\u003cbr\u003eI Love the Way Janie Crawford Left her Husbands\"\u003cbr\u003e: Zora Neale Hurston's Emergent Female Hero\u003cbr\u003e     Looking for Zara\u003cbr\u003e     Selected Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e     Permissions\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52670828085528,"sku":"9780813523163","price":23.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/sweat-written-by-zora-neale-hurston-paperback-softback-9780813523163","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
