| This site exemplifies what is great about the Internet
and author sites an independent fan can put together such great work. The
author is Kip Austin Hinton, and he has gathered an incredible collection of
photos (some of which I had never seen elsewhere before), essays about
Hurston, links to other resources about Hurston, a bibliography of her
works, a chronology, bibliography of works about Hurston, as well as
official points of contact for more information on Hurston’s estate. Easy
to navigate and attractive; the site also includes warnings about student
honesty and a FAQ page on how to ask good questions about Hurston. Includes
a bulletin board where interested parties can post questions on Hurston as
well as answers. One of my personal favorite essays is Hinton’s essay on
his trip to Hurston’s grave, mostly because of the excellent photos included
there. A must visit for anyone doing research on Hurston; also includes
useful links to other authors of the time period. |
