Description
Dr. Arthur P. Davis's long career as a teacher, author, editor and custodian of black literature helped inspire generations of young black American writers.
Dr. Davis's inspiration had come from the Harlem Renaissance, whose leaders he befriended in his student days in New York. The writers and intellectuals he in turn encouraged over the years included Houston Baker, Amiri Baraka, Paula Giddings and Spottswood W. Robinson 3d.
He taught at Howard University from 1944 to 1980, when he retired as university professor emeritus of English. He wrote and edited milestone works on black American literary history and scholarship.
Dr. Davis wrote "From the Dark Tower: Afro-American Writers From 1900 to 1960" (Howard University Press, 1974), which was an anthology culled from his academic work. - from Amzon
