Hurston faded further into obscurity. When she died in a welfare home she was buried in an unmarked grave and many of her precious papers destroyed.

        construction of the American literary canon than the twenty year banishment of Zora Neale
        Hurston to the "Dustbin of History." In a career that spanned three decades
        Hurston published four novels, two collections of folklore, an autobiography, and no fewer
        than forty articles and essays on topics ranging from "How it feels to be Colored
        Me" to "Crazy for this Democracy." </FONT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://xroads.virginia.edu/~MA01/Grand-Jean/Hurston/Chapters/siteintroduction.html"><FONT face="Verdana Ref" color="#ffffff">During the first twenty years of her career,
            Hurston's work met with great interest. Yet, from the mid fifties until the late seventies
            Hurston and her work were virtually forgotten, her books were out of print and she
            appeared as a mere footnote to studies of African American literature. Her last few years
            found Hurston working as a maid for a white woman who found out about her domestic's
            literary talents when she recognized her by-line in the <I>Saturday Evening Post</I>.</FONT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://xroads.virginia.edu/~MA01/Grand-Jean/Hurston/Chapters/siteintroduction.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/xroads.virginia.edu/img/530AF93A-E1A4-4E4A-B2F3-18D41F0C0B14" alt="" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/10CA7361-F7B9-49F1-AE8F-29265CF4E677/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
