"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

I will live down the prejudice, I will crush it out. I will show to the world that a man may spring from a race of slaves, and yet far excel many of the boasted ruling race. If I can exalt my race, if I can gain the applause of the good, and the approbation of God, the thoughts of the ignorant and prejudiced will not concern me. If a man be too proud, too selfconceited, or so blinded by prejudice as not to recognize and honor true merit wherever discovered, I want not his good opinion. Let him reserve it for those whom it will please or displease!

Charles Waddell Chesnutt (1858-1932) Contributing Editor: William L. Andrews Classroom Issues and Strategies 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, Historical Perspectives, and Personal Issues 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.

Chesnutt (1858-1932) , African American lawyer, author and social reformer wrote The House Behind The Cedars (1900). He is considered one of the pioneers in writing on racial themes. Charles Waddell Chesnutt was born on 20 June, 1858 in Cleveland, Ohio, to parents Andrew Jackson Chesnutt and Ann Maria Sampson (d.1871), by that time freed blacks. His brother Lewis was born two years later and his sister Lillian was born in 1871. His grandfather was white, and Chesnutt's sometimes controversial stories deal with the issue of people who were legally black but could "pass" themselves as white due to the fact that their skin was so light. Chesnutt's father, the son of a slaveholding farmer and his mistress, had served as a Union teamster for four years during the Civil War. The family moved to Fayetteville, North Carolina in 1866 to run a grocery store where young Charles helped stock the shelves and make deliveries. He was an avid reader and keen observer of the people and the socio-political times which was reflected in his future writings. At the age of eight he entered school funded by the Freedmen's Bureau. After the death of his mother at the age of fourteen he was forced to become a pupil-teacher to assist the family financially when his father's store went out of business and had moved to a farm. He also taught in Charlotte, North Carolina and during the summers at various places throughout the state. He returned to teach in Fayetteville in 1877 and became the Fayetteville State Normal School for Negroes' principal. He married another teacher, Susan U. Perry in 1878. They would have four children together, Ethel, Helen, Edwin, and Dorothy.

Charles Waddell Chesnutt Novelist Fayetteville, North Carolina 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
