An Analysis of Hurston’s Consistency with Her Original Aspiration and Mission in Seraph on the Suwanee
View through CrossRef
Seraph on the Suwanee, Zora Neale Hurston’s last published long novel in 1948, depicting a white story, attracted almost no scholarly attention but much criticism for her pandering to white readers, betraying her previous characteristic themes in novel writing and abandoning her black cultural tradition and stance. This thesis aims to dig out the themes of the novel Seraph and the blackness behind the whiteness to find out that Seraph, in fact suffering wrong, tells a story by white faces with black voices, which demonstrates that Hurston continues her cultural stance and never changes her idea of not only employing black culture tradition but also insisting on her themes of writing as her previous novels.
