- W2154310348 abstract "ists. But cultural and social changes of 1920s curtailed possibility for meaning ful connection that Fauset advocates. Jessie Fauset wrote to Jean Toomer with optimism and conviction, believing, like her mentor W. E. B. DuBois, in art's potential for bridging po litical divides. Yet she encourages Jean Toomer to find community in a world that was fast be coming a place of alienation and estrangement. Fauset sent Toomer straight into arms of that isolating world. You've got personality and no prejudicing appearances, she noted. Why not try to break into newspaper in one of big cities? As Fauset's fic tion illustrates, cutthroat competition and cynicism fostered by the newspaper game both caused and reflected fragmented na ture of urban communities. Art's potential to link lives and form a com mon ground informs Fauset's most highly re garded novel, 1929 bildungsroman Plum Bun. Critics have viewed work as a novel of manners, as an investigation of racial limi nality, as an analysis of gender roles that sub vert or restrict female sexuality, and most of ten, as a pointed critique of protagonist Angela Murray's attempt to pass for white.1 Yet many, if not all, of these analyses turn on presumptions about boundaries that novel explicitly seeks to undermine. Of course, Plum Bun is shaped by particularities of Angela Murray's iden tity and therefore grapples with construc tion of race, class, and gender. But novel also raises some of broader philosophical questions that underlie Fauset's advice to Jean Toomer. Does absolute freedom aid or obstruct development of meaningful identity? Do values of a clearly denned community in form or limit individuality? The grandson of black Reconstruction politician P. B. S. Pinchback, Toomer was light enough to pass as white, and his racial complexity clearly shaped his own approach to writing. His lyrical treat ment of African American culture accounts for" @default.
