A Very Good Plus copy, in publisher's black cloth with gilt title at spine, with DJ under Mylar.  Review copy has publicity materials at front cover, and shows little sign of handling.  

A selection of the correspondence between two leading figures of the Harlem Renaissance, important men of letters and members of the African-American community in the 20th century.  Arna Bontemps (1902-1978) and Langston Hughes (1902-1967) maintained a long correspondence, aware of the significance of the place they occupied as public figures.

Selected and edited by Charles H. Nichols (1920-2007), then Professor of English at Brown University.
