Whiteness in the Novels of Charles W. Chesnutt - Matthew Wilson - Bog

Today recognised as a major innovator of American fiction, Charles W. Chesnutt is an important contributor to de-romanticizing trends in post-Civil War Southern literature, and a singular voice among turn-of-the-century realists who wrote about race in American life. Whiteness in the Novels of Charles W. Chesnutt is the first study to focus exclusively on Chesnutt's novels.
