Summary

Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872 -1906) was a poet, novelist, and playwright. Regarded as one of the leading African-American writers of the 20th century, Dunbar wrote prolifically, composing poetry, short stories, novels, lyrics and other narrative works. During his short life, Dunbar forged a close relationship with the author and abolitionist Frederick Douglass. Both Douglass and Dunbar gave a voice to the voiceless. After Douglass’ death, Dunbar laments his passing and the problems experienced by African Americans in the elegiac poem "Frederick Douglass". The poem provides valuable insights into the situation of the African-American community in the late 19th century.
