A shining star of the Harlem Renaissance movement, Langston Hughes--a poet, novelist, and playwright--was one of the most revered African American writers. His first published collection of poems, The Weary Blues, was a tour de force upon its release. Over ninety years later, it remains critically acclaimed and still evokes a fresh, contemporary feeling. The title poem, "The Weary Blues," influenced by the dialect and rhythm of blues, weaves pain and suffering into haunting melodic prose. "Dream Variation" rings with joyfulness amid oppression. "Epilogue" mimics Walt Whitman in its opening line, "I, too, sing America," proclaiming that the United States will someday fulfill its promise of equality. A powerful reflection of the Black experience, Hughes's words remain prophetic and relevant.

"Try to reason about love, and you will lose your reason." -- Anton Chekhov Anton Chekhov (1860-1904), possibly the greatest writer of short stories, examines the human condition of love in eleven tales of romance. Included in the collection is one of his best-known works-- "The Lady with the Dog," said to be a reflection of the author's romance with an actress, Olga Knipper, whom he would eventually marry. Chekhov demonstrates one of his primary artistic principles by focusing on character rather than plot to reveal the subtle profundities of love. Exposing his audience to a variety of viewpoints, the Russian author refrains from the moral precepts of love and dares his audience to commit emotional honesty. From the observing narrator of "Agafya" and the nonstop dialogue at a fabric store between a spurned shop clerk and a dressmaker ("Polinka") to the awakened memory of boyhood confusion over the power of physical attraction ("The Beauties"), Chekhov explores the psychology of human affection and its obstacles.

Courageous women stepped forward in solidarity in the nineteenth century, advocating for the abolition of slavery and for women's rights. These women, undaunted by opposing views, fueled the rise of female abolitionists. Although women did not have the right to vote, they knew how to petition, publish, sermonize, and lecture. Black and white women alike raised money and awareness, and wrote and spoke passionately against slavery. Ellen Craft, Sarah Mapps Douglass, Charlotte Forten, Sarah Louisa Forten, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, Mary Prince, Mary Ann Shadd, Maria W. Stewart, and Sojourner Truth are just a few of the Black women who risked their lives to fight for freedom for all. Leading white abolitionists include Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Margaret Chandler, Lydia Maria Child, Angelina E. Grimké, Sarah M. Grimké, Elizabeth Heyrick, Lucretia Mott, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. This collection of essays, speeches, and poems by a bold group of women will educate and inspire all who are interested in this era of American history.
