	Jessie Redmon Fauset - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jessie Redmon Fauset (April 27, 1882 - April 20, 1961) was an African American editor, poet, essayist and novelist.
		Fauset was born in Snow Hill, New Jersey in Camden County as the daughter of Anna Seamon and Redmon Fauset, an African Methodist Episcopal minister.
		Fauset graduated from Cornell University in 1905, possibly the first fl woman in Phi Beta Kappa, and came to the NAACP's journal, The Crisis, in 1912 when it was only 16 months old.

	Modernism and Prestige
		So, given all the traditions that Fauset appears to be cut off from, her work stands in the peculiar position of being considered a few contradictory things at once: too Victorian to be modern, too bourgeois to be fl, and both too fl and too genteel to be feminist.
		Against these trends in Fauset-criticism, I want to contend that Jessie Fauset is indeed a fl feminist modernist and that her novels are in fact integral to the cultural moment in which they are published.
		Fauset is not writing Victorian novels, but rather she is parodying their structures ironically to assert her own reactions to modernity.

		Fauset did not possess the characteristics generally associated with the Renaissance: she was older, reserved in demeanor, meaningfully employed, and her lifestyle was not bohemian in nature.
		Miss Fauset is often referred to as an “older sister figure” to the younger writers, “midwife” of the Renaissance, and “provider of yeoman’s work for the Negro Renaissance.” In all respects, her services and contributions to the movement were appreciated and her novels endorsed by the established fl critics of the day.
		Jessie Redmon Fauset, the seventh child of Redmon and Annie Seamon Fauset, was born in Camden County, New Jersey, a suburb of Philadelphia.

		Jessie Fauset wrote all four of her novels in the remarkably prolific years between 1924 and 1931.
		Fauset's remaining novels, The Chinaberry Tree and There is Confusion, both hinge upon the complications which arise in a culture in which procreative relationships between the races are common but are not legally sanctioned.

		As a detailed biographical sketch of Jessie Fauset's life and in an analysis of her writings that is informed by her life, this thesis both confirms and challenges previous scholarly research on Fauset's life and writing.
		The fourth chapter presents a review of portions of Fauset's writing for periodicals and anthologies through a focus on her book reviews, articles, and essays with the purpose of determining how this work adds to the understanding of her life and her novels.
		Fauset's writing, which incorporates a multitude of genres, reveals both a vehement racial consciousness and a progressive, and at times, radical feminist consciousness.

		About a month before seeing this book, I read THE POWER OF PRIDE, a coffee table book on the Harlem Renaissance which contained some wonderful photos.
		Having read...PRIDE, I noticed that something about this particular edition of PLUM BUN really bothers me. The portrait drawing on the front of the book looks more like Nella Larsen than it does Jessie Fauset.
		Unless Ms.Marks and Ms.Edkins, the compilers of...PRIDE, got their photos mixed up, the picture on the front of PLUM BUN is Nella Larsen--not Jessie Fauset.
