1925 has been hailed as the greatest year in literature, a claim that’s seen new light this year as its works enter the public domain in the US.
Much attention was given to class of 1925 member The Great Gatsby, but JSTOR recently called attention to its classmate The New Negro: An Interpretation, edited by Alain Locke.
The New Negro is an anthology of work from some of the Harlem Renaissance’s greatest figures, like Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, and Countee Cullen.
