(Also known as Negro Renaissance and New Negro Movement.) The Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s is generally considered the first significant movement of black writers and artists in the United States. During this period, new and established black writers published more fiction and Poetry than ever before, the first influential black literary journals were established, and black authors and artists received their first widespread recognition and serious critical appraisal. Among the major writers associated with this period are Claude McKay, Jean Toomer, Countee Cullen, Langston Hughes, Arna Bontemps, Nella Larsen, and Zora Neale Hurston. Works representative of the Harlem Renaissance include Arna Bontemps's poem s "The Return" and "Golgotha Is a Mountain," Claude McKay's novel Home to Harlem, Nella Larsen's novel Passing, Langston Hughes's poem "The Negro Speaks of Rivers," and the journals Crisis and Opportunity, both founded during this period.
