Langston Hughes in the 1930s James Smethurst N o portion of Hughes's literary career has been more commonly dismissed than that of the 1930s. Even many of Hughes's admirers compare unfavorably his writings of the 1930s to his work in other decades. In this view, Hughes's 1930s efforts in many different genresincluding short and long fiction, poetry, drama, reportage, song writinglargely sounded over and over the same ham-fisted didactic note, lacking the lyric humanism and folk wit of his work in the 1920s, 1940s, and 1950s. This asserted nadir of Hughes's literary efforts is almost always related to his engagement with the CPUSA. But, in fact, what is formally most interesting about Hughes's poetry in the 1930s is that the wide variety of voices, styles, and themes employed by Hughes in the late 1920s and early 1930s and addressed to equally disparate audiences become largely unified by the end of the decade in a manner that is crucial to the development of his later work. This process of unification results in Shakespeare in Harlem (1942) and, ultimately

Choose another writer in this calendar: by name: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Langston Hughes (1902-1967) African-American poet, novelist, and playwright, who became one of the foremost interpreters of racial relationships in the United States. Influenced by the Bible, W. E. B. Du Bois, and Walt Whitman , Hughes depicted realistically the ordinary lives of black people. Many of his poems, written in rhythmical language, have been set to music. Hughes's poems were meant 'to be read aloud, crooned, shouted and sung'. "Rest at pale evening... A tall slim tree... Night coming tendrerly Black like me. (from Dream Variations Crisis (1921). As an adolescent in Cleveland he participated in the activity of Karamu Players, and published in 1921 his first play, THE GOLDEN PIECE in 1921. Supported by his father, Hughes entered in the early 1920s the Columbia University, New York. For the permanent disappointment of his father, Hughes soon abandoned his studies, and participated in more entertaining jazz and blues activities in nearby Harlem. Disgusted with life at the university and to see the world, he enlisted as a steward on a freighter bound to West Africa. He traveled to Paris, worked as a doorman and a bouncer of a night club, and continued to Italy. After his return to the United States, Hughes worked in menial jobs and wrote poems, which earned him scholarship to Lincoln University in Pennsylvania. According an anecdote, Hughes was "discovered" by the poet Vachel Lindsay in Washington. Lindsay was dining at the Wardman Park Hotel, where Hughes worked as a busboy, and dropped his poems beside the Lindsay's dinner plate. Lindsay included several of them in his poetry reading. It prompted interviews of the "busboy poet". Hughes quit his job and moved to New York City.

Langston Hughes' Lawrence by Katie Armitage, 1994 Langston Hughes was born in Joplin, Missouri on February 1, 1902, to Carrie Langston Hughes and James Hughes. His mother, Carrie, or Carolina, was born near Lakeview in Douglas County, Kansas and attended school in Lawrence.

Anti-Amerikanismus hughes wurde gefragt, was er davon h¤lt, dass seine Werke mit Hilfe von Geldern der USRegierung in ausl¤ndischen Bibliotheken stehen und dort anti-amerikanische Propaganda verbreiten. Ausz¼ge aus dem Protokoll vom 24. M¤rz 1953 und kurze Biografie. http://www.gazette.de/Archiv/Gazette-Juni2003/Hughes.html

Aussage von Langston Hughes Der hier vom McCarthy-Ausschuss verhörte (Foto) James Langston Hughes (1902 - 1967) hat als einer der ersten Autoren in Reportagen, Romanen und Kurzgeschichten, vor allem aber in seinen Gedichten das Ghetto-Leben der Afro-Amerikaner in den USA beschrieben. Er "stellte anklagend die Rassendiskriminierung der amerikanischen schwarzen Bevölkerung dar, wobei er den Dialekt Harlems einsetzte und durch literarische Adaption von Jazzelementen deren melancholische und elegische Stimmungen nachgestaltete, z.B. "The weary blues" (Gedichte, 1926) und "Das Buch vom Jazz" (1954)." (Meyers großes Taschenlexikon, 1990). Mr. HUGHES: Es tut mir leid, Sir, ich habe das nicht verstanden. Senator DIRKSEN: Filme und die Stimme Amerikas - haben Sie das verstanden? Mr. HUGHES: Ja. Senator DIRKSEN: Sie stehen hier, und ich glaube, wir werden uns wahrscheinlich auf einige davon beziehen. Mr. HUGHES: Nein, Sir. Ich vermute, Sie meinen: Mitglied der Kommunistischen Partei, nicht wahr?
