	DuBose Heyward - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		DuBose Heyward (August 31, 1885-June 16, 1940) is best-known as the author of the 1924 novel Porgy, which became the foundation of George Gershwin's opera Porgy and Bess.
		Langston Hughes called Heyward one who saw, "with his white eyes, wonderful, poetic qualities in the inhabitants of Catfish Row that makes them come alive." Biographer James M. Hutchisson characterizes Porgy as "the first major southern novel to portray fls without condescension" and states that the libretto to Porgy and Bess was largely Heyward's work.
		Heyward wrote another novel set in Catfish Row, Mamba's Daughters, and wrote the screenplay to the 1933 screen adaptation of Eugene O'Neill's The Emperor Jones.

	The My Hero Project - DuBose Heyward
		Heyward, DuBose (31 Aug. 1885-16 June 1940), novelist, dramatist, and poet, was born Edwin DuBose Heyward in Charleston, South Carolina, the son of Edwin Watkins Heyward, a mill hand from an old and distinguished southern family ruined after the Civil War, and Jane Screven DuBose, also descended from once-prosperous plantation owners.
		His father died when Heyward was two, and his mother was reduced to taking in sewing to support the family.
		Heyward edited the society's yearbooks until 1924 and contributed a good deal of their content.

	Hart, Dubose Heyward: An Unknown Children'S Treasure
		Ironically Ned Heyward was spared, only to be killed in an accident in the rice mill on May 21, 1888, when his son was just two years old.
		Years later, Dorothy Heyward reminisced, "[T]he book had such a fine sale that he later said it was the most profitable two hours of his life" (Collier 10-C, Heyward Collection).
		DuBose and Dorothy Heyward's personal papers-manuscripts, letters, clippings, scrapbooks, pictures, and family records- are on deposit at the South Carolina Historical Society: (30-4 Heyward); (21-1 Heyward); (21-19-12 Heyward); (21-39-14 Dorothy Heyward); (21-33 Dorothy Heyward).

	Literary Encyclopedia: West, Dorothy
		Dorothy West joined with Richard Wright and Marian Minus in 1937 in an effort to revive her literary magazine; New Challenge, which lasted one edition, was the result of their joint effort.
		And while her writing is concerned with intra-group issues relating to class and color, a compelling issue in her writing is gender: a recurrent character in her fiction and personal sketches is the repressed female who dreams of, or connives to achieve, a position of power for herself.
		At the end of her life, Dorothy West was hailed as the last living Harlem Renaissance writer, a distinction that produced an upsurge of interest in her writing and in her experiences as a member of this important group of fl writers.

	Porgy Critique
		In Heyward's time, the only whites on the Neck were a few farmers and those who ran and worked at the fertilizer mills whose choking fumes wreathed the city when the wind was from the north.
		Heyward, we should note, enjoyed a small success as a "Gullah" poet, lecturer, and radio program hostess-and her fame only grew after her son's rise to national prominence, allowing her to charge up to $50 for a 90-minute lecture program at a time when a loaf of bread cost five cents.
		Heyward notes on the opening page that a man might become a beggar, "presumably because he was hungry," or another "of more energetic temperament" might become a stevedore.

		Heyward replied enthusiastically that since the Broadway play was no longer on the boards, the rights were now free and clear.
		Heyward then began to send Gershwin scene after scene of his proposed libretto, but Gershwin was too busy with other projects to settle down and compose music for Porgy.
		Early on Heyward, the most accomodating of collaborators, suggested that George’s brother, Ira, might be brought in to write some of the lyrics.

		Libretto by Dubose and Dorothy Heyward and Ira Gershwin
		Heyward's story is about fls living in Charleston, South Carolina in a fictional area called Catfish Row, which is similar to the actual area called Cabbage Row.
		He visited a nearby island, James Island, with Heyward in order to become acquainted with the customs and language of the "Gullah" fls, a group of people whose traditions and language patterns had changed little from the original West African traditions of their ancestors.

		There, he and Heyward observed customs of the local people and listened to their music.

		Written the previous year, it was a series of vignettes of life in a fl Charleston ghetto called Catfish Row, where a cripple named Porgy falls blindly in love with a woman named Bess, whose inconstant affections both torment and inflame him.
		Eventually, she is lured to New York by Sportin' Life, a gambler and drug dealer, and Porgy begins a quixotic journey to find her.
		Having found the source material he was looking for, Gershwin took many years and constant negotiations to put together the team that would develop what he defined as "a folk tale." But by 1933, Heyward and George's brother, Ira, were on board to collaborate on the lyrics.

		In this poignant tale of love found and lost, the disabled beggar Porgy wins the beautiful but troubled Bess from her macho thug boyfriend Crown only to lose her to "happy dust" and the bright lights of New York.
		Heyward and his wife Dorothy successfully brought the novel to the stage as a play, yet efforts failed to set it as a musical show.
		However, in 1933, Gershwin, his brother Ira, and Heyward signed a contract with the Theatre Guild in New York to stage the work as an opera.

		Perhaps the fault lies in Samuel Goldwyn's decision to fire director Rouben Mamoulian in favor of Otto Preminger--if anyone could muddle a great saga, it was Preminger.
		The crippled Porgy (Sidney Poitier) loves Bess (Dorothy Dandridge), a floozy adored by many men, including Crown (Brock Peters), a tough stevedore, and Sportin' Life (Sammy Davis, Jr.), who supplies her with heroin and who is always trying to take her away from life in Catfish Row.
		The brilliant score by the Gershwins and DuBose Heyward, however, will last forever, while Preminger's veteran cameraman, Leon Shamroy, did a wonderful job and the art direction by Serge Krizman and Joseph Wright is sensational.

	Porgy and Bess (Imagination): American Treasures of the Library of Congress
		Porgy and Bess, an opera written by George Gershwin (1898-1937) in collaboration with DuBose Heyward (1885-1940) and Gershwin's brother Ira (1896-1983), is the one American opera to become fully established in the international opera repertory as well as in the popular musical imagination.
		Its tunes have become standards for jazz improvisation, and the lullaby "Summertime" has by now achieved the status of a folk song.
		Porgy and Bess is based on DuBose Heyward's 1925 novel Porgy and on the 1927 Broadway play of the same name by DuBose and Dorothy Heyward.
