for most African- American literature. In a
country where as late as the 1860 's there were
laws prohibiting the teaching of slaves, it was
necessary for the oral tradition to carry the

quest for freedom, the nature of evil, and the
powerful verses the powerless became the themes of
African- American literatur...

Roll and examining most of the aspects of
slave life, slavery still remains a mystery in the
personal sense. Solomon Northup's Twelve Years

Knights Of The Round Table Code Of Chivalry

horses, jousts, armor, castles, fair maidens,
kings, queens? these are the words that come to
mind when people mention the word knight. The

Twelfth Night was the festival held on the night
of the 5 th January (12 th night after Christmas),
and the night before the Epiphany, the time the

Dunbar was not the first Negro poet to use
dialect, although his predecessors had not

dialect, from Stephen Foster and the minstrel song
writers through local colorists such as Irwin
Russell, J. A. Macon, Joel Chandler Harris and
Thomas Nelson Page, will be our concern in the
concluding chapters devoted to poetry. In spite of
these forerunners, however, Dunbar was...
