“Jean Toomer’s Cane is one of the most significant works to come out of the Harlem Renaissance and is considered to be a masterpiece in American modernist literature because of its distinct structure and style. First published in 1923 and told through a series of vignettes, Cane uses poetry, prose, and play-like dialogue to create a window into the varied lives of African Americans living in the rural South and urban North during a time when Jim Crow laws pervaded and racism reigned.” Copyright © 1969 Good VTG Condition: The book has all its pages and I didn’t find any writing on them, only red underlines on one page as seen in the picture. The cover and spine can show signs of wear from usage and age.
