This book is the first comprehensive collection of contemporary reviews of the writing of Langston Hughes from 1926 until his death in 1967. Most of the reviews have never before been listed in a Hughes bibliography, and many of the reviews are reprinted from hard-to-find newspapers and periodicals. Their collection here, by replacing myths with the actual historical record, will make possible a reassessment of Hughes's initial critical reception.
