![]() | Pauline E. Hopkins: A Literary Biography Subjects: Hopkins Pauline E. (Pauline Elizabeth); Authors American -- 19th century -- Biography; Authors American -- 20th century -- Biography; African American women -- Intellectual life; Women and literature -- United States; African American authors -- Biogra; Virtually unknown for the better part of the twentieth century, Pauline E. Hopkins (1859-1930) is one of the most interesting rediscoveries of recent African American literary history. This is the first study devoted exclusively to Hopkins's life and her influential career as an editor, political writer, social critic, pioneering playwright, biographer, and fiction writer. Hanna Wallinger's discoveries break much new ground, especially regarding Hopkins's relationship with such notable men and women as Booker T. Washington and Anna Julia Cooper, her position in Boston's black women's club movement, her work with the Boston-based Colored American Magazine, and her concepts of race, gender, and class. HANNA WALLINGER is an associate professor of American studies at Salzburg University in Austria and a past president of the Austrian Association for American Studies. |
