The Classic Collection of Langston Hughes. Poetry collections, Novels, Major plays. 9 books. Illustrated
This richly illustrated volume brings together nine of Langston Hughes’s most impactful works, showcasing his mastery across poetry, prose, and drama. A defining voice of the Harlem Renaissance, Hughes explored the joys, struggles, and everyday experiences of Black Americans with emotional depth and cultural resonance. The poetry collections in this edition—The Weary Blues, Fine Clothes to the Jew, The Negro Mother, and Dear Lovely Death—blend jazz rhythms, vernacular speech, and sharp social insight. These verses remain powerful reflections of dignity, hope, and resistance. Hughes’s only novel, Not Without Laughter, and his major plays—including Mulatto, Mule Bone (co-written with Zora Neale Hurston), and Black Nativity—offer vivid portraits of community, identity, and injustice. His dramatic works combine heartfelt dialogue and lyrical expression to capture the complexities of African American life. This essential collection honors a literary icon whose words continue to inspire and challenge readers worldwide.
