Booklist Review

The world literary community bore a great loss--no one knows how great--when, in 1965, Lorraine Hansberry died at age 34. In this critical collection, Carter--analyzing the African American writer's plays, published and unpublished, including early drafts and typescripts--clarifies this loss by revealing the focus and direction of her work. Carter presents Hansberry as the artist in her time--asserting her status as a fighter against prejudice and intolerance and a voice in opposition to the defeatist attitudes of the existentialists. Unfortunately, since much of the work discussed is unpublished, Carter must spend too much time on plot summaries. Although Hansberry's Drama takes the form of critical analysis, the essays lack depth and method; however, these readable essays give a valuable overview of Hansberry's purpose and interest in writing. Hopefully, Carter's encouragement to publish the rest of Hansberry's extant writings will be heeded. Chronology; index. ~--Angus Trimnell
