Marginal spaces, marginal texts: Alice Dunbar-Nelson and African American prose poem

Article Abstract:

A study argues that most the critical attention given to the work of Alice Dunbar-Nelson, the first African American women to publish a collection of short stories, is divided between the stories in the second volume The Goodness of St. Rocque and Other Stories and the poetry appearing during the Harlem Renaissance, while giving little attention to her first volume. It is argued that Dunbar-Nelson is seen at her most defiant within the first volume Violets and Other Tales, and it should be given the most attention.
