	Nella Larsen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nella Larsen (April 13, 1891 – March 30, 1964) was a Mulatto novelist of the Harlem Renaissance who wrote two novels and a few short stories.
		Larsen lived several years as a child with her mother's relations in Denmark, and in 1907-08, she briefly attended Fisk University, in Nashville, Tennessee, a historically Black University, which at that time had an entirely Black student body.
		In 1930, Larsen published "Sanctuary" [1], a short story for which she was accused of plagiarism; also at this time her marriage was failing.

	Prose of the Harlem Renaissance
		Larsen's importance as a writer is based upon her two novels; she was unable to complete a third one.
		Larsen grew up in Chicago and attended the public schools there before she was enrolled in Fisk University's Normal School in 1907, alienating her permanently from her birth family.
		Newspapers covering the story accused Larsen of being too preoccupied with her writing to be a good wife, and claimed that she had tried to commit suicide over the affair; and while Larsen did not literally kill herself, she did close herself off from all contact with her former life.

	Nella Larsen's 'Passing' and the fading subject African American Review - Find Articles
		Although many critics have accused Nella Larsen of using race as a pretext for examining other issues,(1) Passing (1929), her second novel, is profoundly concerned with racial identity.
		Larsen vanished temporarily, resurfacing three years later at the Lincoln Training Hospital in New York City as a student nurse, where, according to Davis, she began her ascent into the fl middle class all alone (66, 70-72).
		Larsen's childhood rejection was seemingly reiterated in her 1919 marriage to Elmer S. Imes, which ended in a much-publicized divorce in 1933.

		Larsen is an anchor to calm the stormy seas of a new literary renaissance.
		She was unprepared and unable to be the mother of an obviously fl child and thus remained separate from her daughter for most of her life.
		Nella's inquiries were a denial of sorts, roused by an ambiguous hope that she was less fl, that she might have benefited from the exotic parts of her mixed heritage.

	Nella Larsen - Complexion and Complexities
		Nella Larsen, 1891-1964, was a writer of the Harlem Renaissance era, an era in which African American Art was at a major height.
		According to Larsen's texts, her middle class protagonists would not have fit comfortably into any of the systems because they were both fl and white, and consequently, neither fl nor white.

	Nella Larsen (1891-1964)
		Students respond to the heightened attention to color and clothing and atmosphere in Nella Larsen's novels and wonder if her concentration on mulatto characters indicates an unmistakable "privileging" of whiteness.
		None of these attempts to articulate the terms of an emerging "fl art" can be divorced from a discussion of the production and consumption of the texts, especially the system of white patronage during the period, which necessarily affected and at times constrained artistic freedom.
		I note the fact that the audience for Nella Larsen's writings, as for all fl writers during the Harlem Renaissance, was primarily white, though a small group of fl middle-class intellectuals read them as well.

	Sliding Significations: "Passing" as a Narrative and Textual Strategy in Nella Larsen's Fiction
		Larsen's language emphasizes that although Helga thinks she truly belongs, she is passing: once again, she finds a role which transforms her from an isolated individual into a connected member of a social network.
		Anne Hostetler suggests that Helga's hatred of the race problem "barely masks the agony of facing color as division rather than as fruitful multiplicity," and that Helga "attempts to create a spectrum rather than an opposition, a palette [of color] that will unify her life rather than leave it divided" (35).
		Davis, for example, states that Larsen is unable to "envision conclusions according to the organic, internal logic of her narrative" (Afro-American Writers, 191) and that her "narratives, like her public life, would stop abruptly, present no viable solutions, and remain dominated by dissatisfaction" (Nella Larsen, 18).

		Nella Larsen (1891-1964) is recognized as one of the most influential, and certainly one of the most enigmatic, writers of the Harlem Renaissance.
		But Davis' analysisof Larsen's personality and her position as a woman of mixed race in the America of her time - a person whom society defined as marginal in several ways - shows that such contradictions were only to be expected.
		In addition to unraveling the details of Larsen's personal life, Davis deftly situates the writer within the broader politics and aesthetics of the Harlem Renaissance and analyzes her life and work in terms of the current literature on race and gender.

		In this biography of novelist Nella Larsen, Hutchinson (The Harlem Renaissance in Black and White) explores her work, life and place in social history, positing that the reason for Larsen's shadowy status as a writer of the Harlem Renaissance is tied to the shifting color line in American society.
		Larsen, whose mother was a Danish immigrant and whose father was a fl laborer, identified with her flness yet also confronted and struggled with prejudice within the Harlem literary community.
		Estranged from her family, Larsen spent the remainder of her life looking for a place to belong, finding it, for a while, in the glittering Harlem Renaissance.

	Heath Anthology of American LiteratureNella Larsen - Author Page
		Until the early 1970s when previously “lost” work by women writers began to be recovered and reprinted, Nella Larsen was one of several women writers of the New Negro Renaissance relegated to the back pages of that movement’s literary history, a curious fate since her career had such an auspicious beginning.
		In compliance with the editor’s request, Larsen wrote a detailed explanation of the way in which she came by the germ for her story, trying to vindicate herself.
		Fickle and unsettled, Larsen roamed from place to place, searching for some undefined and undefinable “something.” She studied at Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee; audited classes at the University of Copenhagen; and studied nursing at Lincoln Hospital Training School for Nurses in New York, graduating in 1915.

	Vignette: Nella Larsen
		NELLA LARSEN, a Harlem Renaissance writer whose novels were rediscovered and reexamined during the sixties rebirth of fl arts and letters, was born in Chicago in 1891, to a Danish mother and a father of Caribbean descent.
		The young Nella eventually was alienated from her white family members, and her struggle to reconcile her own mixed heritage became a theme of her two major works, the novels Quicksand (1928) and Passing (1929).
		Given to changing the spelling of her last name, her date of birth, and other biographical facts, Larsen spent the last half of her life avoiding public attention and worked as a nurse until the age of seventy-two, when she died in New York City.
