   Extractions: 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. Eastern North Carolina serves as the setting and the source of his most important works. His best known book, The Conjure Woman (1899) is a retelling of seven African-American slave folk tales from the Cape Fear region. Five of the nine stories in

Called a "race riot" by the inflammatory Southern press and engineered by white Democrats who had seen their political slip into the hands of Republicans, many of whom were black, it was in fact a coup that restored power to the Democrats by subverting the principles of free democratic election. Some of Charles Chestnutt's relatives lived through the violence, and their accounts inspired this powerful and passionate novel.

Introduction Biography Literary Career Timeline Excerpts From “ The Goophered Grapevine”, “The Wife Of His Youth” Commentary on Excerpts Criticism Bibliography Charles Chesnutt was a stand out writer of short fiction from the late nineteenth to the early twentieth century. He was a true “spokesman of racial and social injustice.” Instead of trying to hide behind the lightness of his skin color, as many fair skin African-Americans did, Chesnutt chose to show his true identity. He took the racial and social discrimination inflicted upon him and others then used it for motivation in his writings. Although Chesnutt went to Howard School as a young child, he was largely a self- taught individual. He also had much success in life using all his life long experiences, along with broad knowledge, to write works that stood out among others that wrote about discrimination problems.

   Extractions: 1858-1932, Writer. "The Goophered Grapevine," an unusual dialect story that displayed intimate knowledge of black folk culture in the South, was Chesnutt's first nationally recognized work of fiction. Its publication in the August 1887 issue of the Atlantic Monthly marked the first time that a short story by a black had appeared in that prestigious magazine. After subsequent tales in this vein were accepted by other magazines, Chesnutt submitted to Houghton, Mifflin a collection of these stories, which was published in 1899 as The Conjure Woman. His second collection of short fiction, The Wife of His Youth and Other Stories of the Color Line (1899), ranged over a broader area of southern and northern racial experience than any previous writer on black American life had attempted. These two volumes were popular enough to convince Houghton, Mifflin to publish Chesnutt's first novel, The House Behind the Cedars, in 1900. This story of two blacks who pass for white in the postwar South revealed Chesnutt's sense of the psychological and social dilemmas facing persons of mixed blood in the region. His second novel, The Marrow of Tradition (1901), is based on the Wilmington, N.C., race riot of 1898. Hoping to write the

    Extractions: William L. Andrews Classroom issues include: How critical or satirical of blacks is Chesnutt in his portrayal of them? Does he treat them with sympathy, even when they behave foolishly? Is Chesnutt's satire biting and distant or self-involving and tolerant? There's rarely one source of authority in a Chesnutt story. Different points of view compete for authority. Get the students to identify the different points of view and play them against each other. Stress that Chesnutt's conjure stories were written in such a way as not to identify their author as an African-American. How effective is Chesnutt in this effort? Students want to know what Chesnutt's social purposes were in writing his conjure stories. How could stories about slavery have any bearing on the situation of blacks and on race relations at the turn of the centurywhen Chesnutt wroteand today? Major themes include the following: Chesnutt's attitude toward the Old South; the myth of the plantation and the happy darkey, the mixed-blood (monster or natural and even an evolutionary improvement); and miscegenation as a natural process, not something to be shocked by.

    Extractions: 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
