Description: John Henry: Roark Bradford's Novel and Play by Roark Bradford Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A critical edition of Roark Bradfords novel and play on the iconic John Henry, this volume provides a rich introduction that contextualizes both works and highlights the role of the blues in both works. Publisher Description Roark Bradfords 1931 novel and 1939 play dealing with the legendary folk-hero John Henry (both titled John Henry) were extremely influential in their own time, but have since then been nearly forgotten. Steven C. Tracy has united these hard-to-find works in a single critical edition that helps contextualize-and revive-both texts. An expansive introduction explores Bradfords life; recounts critical responses to his works; and surveys John Henrys pervasiveinfluence in folk, literary, and popular culture. The volume also features a wide array of supplementary materials including a selected bibliography and discography, transcriptions of folksong texts andrecordings available during the 1930s, and a chronology of the lives of both Bradford and Henry. As Tracys introduction makes clear, such a consideration of Bradford--set in the context of writers, both black and white, drawing upon African American folklore and using dialects along with stereotypical and non-stereotypical portrayals--is long overdue. This new edition is a windfall for scholars and students of folklore and African American literature. Author Biography Steven C. Tracy is Professor of Afro-American Studies at University of Massachusetts at Amherst and editor of A Historical Guide to Ralph Ellison and A Historical Guide to Langston Hughes (OUP 2003 and 2004).
