Paul Green
North Carolina Writers on the Legacy of the State's Most Celebrated Playwright
About this book
This anthology examines the life and selected works of North Carolina’s most distinguished playwright of the 20th  century, Paul Green (1894-1981).  
Paul Green is best known for his outdoor historical dramas, which are still performed across the United States. However, he was not only a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, but was also an activist committed to human rights, racial equity, prison reform, and ending the death penalty. This anthology includes frank reflections from an award-winning array of contemporary North Carolina writers. Their essays about Green’s work and relationships are meant to launch new conversations about a man who was seen as progressive, even radical, in his time. Included writers: Margaret Bauer, Jim Grimsley, Lynden Harris, Marjorie Hudson, Kathryn Hunter-Williams, Jill McCorkle, Ray Owen, Phillip Shabazz, Mike Wiley, ​​and others.
