Book Description
Well known in her day as a singer, playwright, novelist, and editor of the Colored American Magazine, Pauline Hopkins (1859 1930) has been the subject of considerable scholarly attention over the last twenty years. Nevertheless, her novels have not received their critical due. The Motherless Child, the first book-length study of Hopkins s major fictions, fills this critical gap, offering a sustained analysis of motherlessness in Contending Forces, Hagar s Daughter, Winona, and Of One Blood.
