Definition(s)

  • Folklorist, anthropologist, novelist, playwright, and “genius of the South” Zora Neale Hurston, wrote her third novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God, in 7 weeks in 1937. Although the novel is a classic today, its early critics—Richard Wright, Langston Hughes, Alain Locke, and others—gave it a mixed reception.
