Home Famous Floridians Zora Neale Hurston Site Map Famous Floridians: Zora Neale Hurston Hurston is noted as the first Black American to collect and publish African-American and Afro-Caribbean folklore. She wrote stories, novels, anthropological folklore, and an autobiography. She could write about the most ordinary things and make them infinitely gorgeous. Her characters appeared real and human. Her works have increased in popularity with the passing of time. Hurston returned to Florida in 1948 and faded into obscurity. She was rediscovered in the 1970s. Today she is studied in college courses. She is generally looked upon as one of the finest American novelists of the first half of the 20th century. But Hurston would probably consider her highest accolade to be a festival held in her honor every year in Eatonville, the town she loved to claim as her own. Eatonville Eatonville, Florida is a small community of great significance to African-American history and culture. Of the more than one hundred black towns founded between 1865 and 1900, fewer than twelve remain today. Eatonville is the oldest. Reconstruction after the Civil War was a time of joy and for building a better way of living for blacks. At first, newly freed blacks began to establish homes and businesses in white communities. By the 1800s, tensions from this new coexistence gave rise to segregation, the separation of blacks to a particular area in the community.

Their Eyes Were Watching God About the Author Preface Introduction Historical Context About the Author ... Teacher's Guide Zora Neale Hurston, 1891-1960 Now lauded as the intellectual and spiritual foremother to a generation of black and women writers, Zora Neale Hurston's books were all out of print when she died in poverty and obscurity in 1960. Born on January 7, 1891, in Notasulga, Alabama, Hurston and her family soon moved to Eatonville, Florida, the first all-black incorporated town in the United States. Her parents were John Hurston, a carpenter and Baptist preacher who served several terms as mayor of Eatonville, and Lucy Potts Hurston, a schoolteacher before she raised eight children. Her mother's death and father's remarriage led the outspoken Hurston to leave her hometown at 14 and become a wardrobe girl in an all-white traveling Gilbert and Sullivan troupe. She completed her education at Morgan Academy in Baltimore and Howard University in Washington, D.C., supporting herself with a variety of jobs from manicurist to maid. Heeding her mother's encouragement to "jump at de sun," she arrived in New York in January 1925 with $1.50 in her pocket. Later that year, as the only black scholar at Barnard College, Hurston studied with Dr. Franz Boas, often called the father of American anthropology. His encouragement, combined with a stipend of $200 a month and a car from patron Charlotte Osgood Mason, allowed Hurston to complete much of her anthropological work in the American South. This lifelong passion to collect, record, and broadcast the everyday idiomatic communication of her people would inform four novels, two collections of folklore, an autobiography, and dozens of stories, articles, plays, and essays.

A law officer and friend, Patrick DuVal, passing by the house where she had lived, stopped and put out the fire, thus saving an invaluable collection of literary documents for posterity. The nucleus of this collection was given to the University of Florida libraries in 1961 by Mrs. Marjorie Silver, friend and neighbor of Zora Neale Hurston. Other materials were donated in 1970 and 1971 by Frances Grover, daughter of E. O. Grover, a Rollins College professor and long-time friend of Hurston's. In 1979 Stetson Kennedy of Jacksonville, who knew Hurston through his work with the Federal Writers Project, added additional papers.

Z Zora Neale Hurston Writer Zora Neale Hurston was the flamboyant author of the 1937 novel Their Eyes Were Watching God , and a leading figure in African-American literature of the 20th century. She grew up in Florida, but Hurston made her fame in New York as a writer and well-known participant in the rich cultural scene there in the 1920s and '30s (a period sometimes called the Harlem Renaissance). Hurston studied anthropology at Howard University and Barnard College, and her work as a writer was intertwined with her studies of black folklore of the South. She wrote the novels Jonah's Gourd Vine Their Eyes Were Watching God (1937) and Moses, Man of the Mountain (1939); she published the studies on folklore Mules and Men (1935) and Tell My Horse (1938); and she published an entertaining if not precisely accurate autobiography, Dust Tracks on a Road (1942). Despite her fame and reputation in the 1930s, by the time of her death in 1960 Hurston was penniless and nearly forgotten.

Further Information INTRODUCTION Zora Neale Hurston was one of the most prolific African-American female writers of her day. Between 1934 and 1948, Hurston published seven books including her autobiography Dust Tracks on a Road. Perhaps her most well received publication was Their Eyes Were Watching God. In addition to her major publications, she also wrote many short stories, plays, biographies, newspaper and magazine articles. Hurston was born in the all-black town of Eatonville, Florida. Eatonville was the setting for many of her stories of folklore and probably shaped many of her political views. In 1918, Hurston graduated from Morgan College in Baltimore, Maryland. She then studied at Howard University from 1918 to 1924. Lorenzo Dow Turner, Alaine Locke, and Georgia Douglas Johnson were some of her mentors as she studied and developed her writing skills. Hurston received a scholarship in 1925 to attend Barnard College in New York City where she studied anthropology under Franz Boas. She received the Rosenwald Foundation Fellowship and studied for two years at the Columbia University Graduate School. The Harlem Renaissance was in full swing when Hurston arrived in New York City. She joined with Langston Hughes and Wallace Thurmond in 1926 to found the avant-garde magazine

Carla Kaplan, editor of Zora Neale Hurston: A Life in Letters Alice Walker's 1975 Ms . magazine article "Looking for Zora" and Robert Hemenway's 1977 biography reintroduced Zora Neale Hurston to the American landscape and ushered in a renaissance for a writer who was a bestselling author at her peak in the 1930's, but died penniless and in obscurity some three decades later. Since that rediscovery of novelist, anthropologist, playwright, folklorist, essayist and poet Hurston, her books from the classic love story Their Eyes Were Watching God to her controversial autobiography, Dust Tracks on a Road have sold millions of copies. Hurston is now taught in American, African American, and Women's Studies courses in high schools and universities from coast to coast. In Zora Neale Hurston: A Life in Letters , Hurston scholar Carla Kaplan has meticulously edited and annotated a landmark collection of letters that provide a penetrating and profound portrait of her life, impressive imagination, and writings.* She joins us in a December, 2002 conversation about Hurston, one of the most brilliant contributors to American letters.
