Abstract

February 1, 2002 marks the 100th birthday of Langston Hughes. To commemorate the centennial of his birth, Arnold Rampersad has contributed new Afterwords to both volumes of his highly-praised biography of this most extraordinary and prolific American writer. In young adulthood Hughes possessed a nomadic but dedicated spirit that led him from Mexico to Africa and the Soviet Union to Japan, and countless other stops around the globe. Associating with political activists, patrons, and fellow artists, and drawing inspiration from both Walt Whitman and the vibrant Afro-American culture, Hughes soon became the most original and revered of black poets. In the first volume's Afterword, Rampersad looks back at the significant early works Hughes produced, the genres he explored, and offers a new perspective on Hughes's lasting literary influence. Exhaustively researched in archival collections throughout the country, especially in the Langston Hughes papers at Yale University's Beinecke Library, and featuring fifty illustrations per volume, this anniversary edition will offer a new generation of readers entrance to the life and mind of one of the twentieth century's greatest artists.
我也歌颂美国
2002年2月1日是兰斯顿·休斯诞辰100周年。为了纪念这位最杰出、最多产的美国作家的百年诞辰,阿诺德·兰珀萨德(Arnold Rampersad)为他备受赞誉的传记撰写了新的后记。年轻时,休斯拥有一种游牧而专注的精神,这使他从墨西哥到非洲,从苏联到日本,以及全球无数其他地方。休斯与政治活动家、赞助人和艺术家同行交往,并从沃尔特·惠特曼和充满活力的美国黑人文化中汲取灵感,很快成为最具独创性和最受尊敬的黑人诗人。在第一卷的后记中,Rampersad回顾了休斯早期创作的重要作品,他探索的体裁,并提供了休斯持久文学影响的新视角。在全国的档案收藏中进行了详尽的研究,特别是在耶鲁大学拜内克图书馆的兰斯顿休斯论文中,每卷50幅插图,这个周年纪念版将为新一代读者提供一个进入20世纪最伟大的艺术家之一的生活和思想的入口。
