 Zora Neale Hurston (1891-1960), novelist, anthropologist, folklorist, journalist, and playwright, was a luminary of the Harlem Renaissance. The author of four novels, her masterpiece Their Eyes Were Watching God, after being out of print for nearly forty years, was reprinted in 1978 and is a perennial best seller, and is used widely on college campuses around the country. Dismissed by much of the White and Black literary establishment for the humor, dialect, and pathos in her work when it was originally published, Zora Neale Hurston has found a loyal and loving audience among contemporary readers, and Their Eyes Were Watching God has been called one of the finest American novels ever written.
