Scope: Zora Neale Hurston was a prominent black writer of the Harlem Renaissance. Her works are similar to folklore and demonstrate her interest in anthropology. Hurston portrayed the life of black folk culture and attempted to preserve the black heritage. She was considered one of the more prolific black writers of the 1930’s, but by the time she died in 1960, she was relatively unrecognized and penniless. (Magill,
