   Many literary scholars believe that Zora Neale Hurston s Their Eyes  Were Watching God (1937) has been the primary influence on some of the  most accomplished2 Black women writing in the United

(5) States today. Indeed, Alice Walker, the author of the prize-winning novel The  Color Purple. has said of Their Eyes. "There is no book more important to me  than this one." Thus, it seems necessary to ask why Their Eyes, a work now  viewed by a multitude

(10) of readers as remarkably3 successful in its complex depiction4 of a Black  woman s search for self and community. was ever relegated5 to the margins6 of  the literary canon

   The details of the novel s initial reception help

(15) answer this question. Unlike the recently rediscovered and rerexamined  work of Harriet Wilson. Their Eyes was not totally ignored by book reviewers  upon its publication. In fact, it received a mixture of positive and negative  reviews both from

(20) White book reviewers working for prominent periodicals and from important  figures within Black literary circles In the Saturday Review of Literanre George  Stevens wrote that "the narration7 is exactly right, because most of it is  dialogue and the

(25) dialogue gives us a constant sense of character in action The negative  criticism was partially8 a result of Hurston s ideological9 differences with other  members of the Black Americans in literature. Black

(30) writers of the 1940s believed that the Black artist s primary responsibility  was to create protest fiction that explored the negative effects of racism10 in the  United States. For example, Richard Wright, the author of the much  acclaimed12 Native Son (1940)

(35) wrote that Their Eyes had "no theme" and "no message" Most crities and  readers expectations of Black literature rendered them unable to appreciate  Hurston s subtle delineation13 of the life of an ordinary Black woman in a Black  community

(40) and the novel went quietly out of print

   Recent acclaim11 for Their Eyes results from the emergence14 of feminist15  literary criticism and the development of standards of evaluation16 specific to  the work of Black writers; these kinds of criticism

(45) changed readers expectations of art and enabled them to appreciate  Hurston s novel The emergence of feminist criticism was crucial because  such criticism brought new attention to neglected works such as Hurston s  and alerted readers to Hurston s

(50) exploration of women s issues in her fictionl. The Afroncentric standards of  evaluation were equally important to the rediscovery of Their Eyes, for such  standards provided readers with the tools to recognize and appreciate the  Black folklore17 and

(55) oral storytelling traditions Hurston incorporated within her work. In one of  the most illuminating18 discussions of the novel to date. Henry Louis Gates Jr.  states that "Hurston s strategy seems to concern itself with the possibilities  of representation of the

(60) speaking Black voice in writing"
