Contents:

The child is the father of the man -- To escape the reproach of her birth and blood -- The wooing -- One damned night of folly -- Parted.

Summary: A New York Times Notable Book of 2002!. Sexism, racism, self-hatred, and romantic love: all figure in prominently in this scholarly-but nicely hard-boiled-discussion of the bond between the famous Paul Laurence Dunbar and his wife Alice. Eleanor Alexander's analysis of turn-of-the-twentieth-century black marriage is required reading for every student of American, especially African-American, heterosexual relationships.""--Nell Painter, Edwards Professor of American History, Princeton University, Author of Sojourner Truth, A Life, A Symbol. ""Rich in documentation and generous in analysis, Lyr.
