Charles Waddell Chesnutt Novelist Fayetteville, North Carolina Photo: North Carolina Collection, UNC-CH Library Essayist, folklorist, short-story writer and novelist, Charles Chesnutt was the first African-American writer to receive widespread serious attention during his lifetime as a literary artist, and was considered one of the major fiction writers of his era. After teaching for several years in Charlotte, and in Fayetteville at the State Colored Normal School (now Fayetteville State University) he moved north and passed the bar examination. After establishing a successful legal stenography firm, he began writing. Initially the author of humorous sketches and essays on social issues, he published his first short story at the age of twenty-nine in The Atlantic, even then one of the most prestigious magazines in the country. Contemporary William Dean Howells called Chesnutt's short stories "works of art," written by one who had "sounded a fresh note, boldly, not blatantly." Although Chesnutt lived most of his adult life in his native Ohio, his childhood and early manhood were spent in North Carolina, primarily in Fayetteville.

Internet Research Guide Textbook Site for: The Heath Anthology of American Literature , Fourth Edition Paul Lauter, General Editor Charles Waddell Chesnutt Charles W. Chesnutt was born in Cleveland, Ohio, the son of free blacks who had emigrated from Fayetteville, N.C. When he was eight years old, his parents returned to Fayetteville, where Charles worked in the family grocery store and attended a school founded by the Freedmen's Bureau. Financial necessity required that he begin a teaching career while still a teenager. By 1880 he had become principal of the Fayetteville State Normal School for Negroes. Seeking broader economic opportunity and a chance to hone the literary skills that he had begun to develop in his private journals, Chesnutt moved to the North in 1883, settling his family in Cleveland in 1884. There he passed the state bar examination and founded his own court-reporting firm. His business success and prominence in civic affairs made him one of Cleveland's most respected citizens. "The Goophered Grapevine" was Chesnutt's first nationally recognized work of fiction. Written in black dialect and set in the Old South, "The Goophered Grapevine" appeared to be another contribution to the popular "plantation literature" of late-nineteenth-century America, in which slavery and the plantation system of the antebellum South were sentimentalized. But this story, like all of Chesnutt's "conjure" tales, displayed an unusually intimate knowledge of black southern folk culture and an appreciation of the importance of voodoo practices to the slave community. The teller of the conjure tales, Uncle Julius, is also a unique figure in southern plantation literature, a former slave who recalls the past not to celebrate it but to exploit white people's sentimentality about it. The publication of "The Goophered Grapevine" marked the first time that a short story by an African American had appeared in the prestigious

Chesnutt's Works Reviews Bibliography Biography ... Site Info Chesnutt Family Timelines Chesnutt Ethel (daughter) Helen (daughter) Edwin (son) Dorothy (daughter) Family Tree (This page was developed by a Berea College student as part of a course on Chesnutt.) Biography: Charles W. Chesnutt, America's first great Black novelist, lived in the distinct political, social and cultural environment that found expression in his literary works. By analyzing the works of a writer, we can gain the general insights of the author's contemporary environment - the world he grows up in and the world he later writes to. Charles W. Chesnutt is not an exception, and his novels reveal the harsh world of prejudice and social indifference in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Charles W. Chesnutt was born June 20, 1858, in Cleveland Ohio, the eldest child of Andrew Jackson Chesnutt and Anne Maria Sampson, free blacks from North Carolina. The increasing civil turmoil regarding slavery and coming political unrest forced Charles Chesnutt's parents to move to Ohio, where they remained before the end of Civil War, and came back to Fayetteville, North Carolina with five young children. Charles's father, Andrew Jackson Chesnutt, was a product of union between Waddell Cade, a prosperous slaveholding farmer and Ann Chesnutt, his mistress and later his housekeeper. Charles's mother also descended from a free mulatto Fayetteville family. Charles Chesnutt's family heritage gave him the features that barely distinguished him from whites, but determined his social status as lower than that of the white Americans.
