![]() 1 SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY CHRONOLOGY 195 207 211įoreword In 1987, the fiftieth anniversary of the first publication of Their Eyes Were Watching God, the University of Illinois Press inserted a banner in the lower right-hand corner of the cover of their anniversary reprint edition: \"1987/50th Anniversary-STILL A BESTSELLER!\" The back cover, using a quote from the Satur- day Review by Doris Grumbach, proclaimed Their Eyes, \"the finest black novel of its time\" and \"one of the finest of all time.\" Zora Neale Hurston would have been shocked and pleased, I believe, at this stunning reversal in the reception of her second novel, which for nearly thirty years after its first publication was out of print, largely unknown and unread, and dismissed by the male literary establishment in subtle and not so subtle ways.
