The Collected Works of Paul Laurence Dunbar Lot of 10 Audiobooks in 10 MP3 CDs Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872 - 1906) Paul Laurence Dunbar was an African American poet, novelist, and playwright of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Much of his popular work in his lifetime used a Negro dialect, which helped him become one of the first nationally accepted African American writers. Much of his writing, however, does not use dialect; these more traditional poems have become of greater interest to scholars. The Book of American Negro PoetryRead by Jim Locke, Lynda Marie Neilson, Kahlil B, Foon, David G., Farnood, Michele Fry, AnnaLisa Bodtker, Larry Wilson and Chuck WilliamsonRunning Time:05:04:56 in 1 MP3 Audio CDThe Book of American Negro Poetry is one of the earliest and most essential anthologies of African-American verse ever brought to print. Edited by writer and diplomat James Weldon Johnson, this collection was published with the hope of bringing to the public a greater awareness of the art and literature created by Black writers. This is the first edition of this long-republished anthology and collects seminal works by: Joseph S. Cotter, Jr. Paul Laurence Dunbar Georgia Douglas Johnson Claude McKay W. E. B. Du Bois Alice Dunbar Nelson Leslie Pinckney Hill William Stanley Braithwaite James Weldon Johnson James Edwin Campbell Anne Spencer Benjamin Griffith Brawley Jessie R. Fauset Fenton Johnson James David Corrothers Candle-Lightin' TimeRead by Denise RayRunning Time:00:26:28 in 1 MP3 Audio CDPoetry about African American Southern life Dinah Kneading DoughDat Ol' Mare o' MineA Spring WooingThe Old Front GateFishin'When Dey Listed Colored SoldiersLullabySong of SummerAt Candle-Lightin' Time The FanaticsRead by Rita BoutrosRunning Time:07:01:27 in 1 MP3 Audio CDThis is a story about a town in Ohio during the civil war. The town is divided by ideology, but can they be united by love and respect?Note to listeners: Because of the subject of this book, some of the ideas described and the words used can be offensive. The Heart of Happy HollowRead by Jim LockeRunning Time:04:16:32 in 1 MP3 Audio CDHappy Hollow; are you wondering where it is? Wherever Negroes colonize in the cities or villages, north or south, wherever the hod carrier, the porter, and the waiter are the society men of the town; wherever the picnic and the excursion are the chief summer diversion, and the revival the winter time of repentance, wherever the cheese cloth veil obtains at a wedding, and the little white hearse goes by with black mourners in the one carriage behind, there—there—is Happy Hollow. Wherever laughter and tears rub elbows day by day, and the spirit of labor and laziness shake hands, there—there—is Happy Hollow, and of some of it may the following pages show the heart. In Old Plantation DaysRead by Jim LockeRunning Time:05:46:15 in 1 MP3 Audio CDWith this collection of short stories, Dunbar sought to draw on the success of his dialect poems by recreating and portraying the southern plantation during slavery. The stories focus on the stereotypical portrait of slaves as obedient workers happy to spend their lives in service of their benevolent owner. His attempt to find success was only partially realized, as his stories drew not only criticism but, in some cases, anger at their very stereotypical nature. The book itself, however, proved to be more lucrative than previous fiction works had been for the author. The Love of LandryRead by Jim LockeRunning Time:02:39:32 in 1 MP3 Audio CDThe Love of Landry is one of Dunbar's four novels, and one of three that are about white people. In this case, the story is about the recuperation of the sick Mildred Osborne, an Eastern aristocrat, at a ranch in Colorado. The central character is faced with very different social norms operating in a world with so few women. Though the novel lacks black characters, allusions to them and plot conflicts that center on the position of a man in American society prejudice is hinted at. Mildred Osborne's journey of self-discovery ends in her finding out who Landry really is and that he is worthy of her love. Oak and IvyRead by Andrew KennedyRunning Time:01:48:25 in 1 MP3 Audio CD"Oak and Ivy" is Paul Laurence Dunbar's first collection of poetry. He was by far the most successful Black American to write poetry in the so-called Negro dialect, although he also wrote a lot of verse in standard diction. His poetry and prose often speak of the frustrated aspirations of and bleak prospects for African Americans in a white supremacist era. The Sport of the GodsRead by Ashleigh Jane, Larry Degala, Richard Kilmer, Ric Cornwall, M Evans, Jean DelfrioRunning Time:4:34:05 in 1 MP3 Audio CDThe Sport of the Gods is a novel by Paul Laurence Dunbar, first published in 1902, centered around urban black life.Forced to leave the South, a family falls apart amid the harsh realities of Northern inner-city life in this 1902 examination of the forces that extinguish the dreams of African Americans. The Strength of Gideon and Other StoriesRead by Kirk ZigglerRunning Time:06:30:22 in 1 MP3 Audio CDOne of four books of short stories written in his brief career. These stories are written using African American dialect which provides deeper insight to the culture of that time. The UncalledRead by Jim LockeRunning Time:05:06:44 in 1 MP3 Audio CDOrphaned Freddie Brent ends up adopted by an old local Christian lady who knows nothing about raising a child. And matters are worsened by her insistence that he become a preacher.
