Lawrence and Black writers, \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eLaura Ryan \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eexamines connections between Lawrence and four key Black and mixed-race modernists – Claude McKay, Langston Hughes, Jean Toomer, and Zora Neale Hurston – positioning all five as co-creators of modernism.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRyan investigates both the responses of these writers to Lawrence's writing and the ways in which Black modernist writers were frequently engaging in their work with the same themes, problems and questions as the English author. Their concerns converge with Lawrence's, for example, on themes and issues including primitivism, individualism, religion, vitalism, and sexuality, all while critiquing modernity, seeking new modes of expression, and forging forward to find new identities. In exploring these connections, this book not only sheds new light on these particular writers; it pushes toward new ways of figuring literary connectedness more widely, and across barriers of race and nation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLaura Ryan\u003c\/b\u003e is an independent scholar based in North East England.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17 September 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781350557321\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e256\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18.72\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53976193073292,"sku":"9781350557321","price":103.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_aba41cd4-b1b1-496d-be5b-d82aa5c78707.jpg?v=1787715237","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781350557321","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
