The Sport of the Gods (1902)
Illustrated by B. Martin Justice First published by Dodd, Mead and Company, New York, NY Copyright 1902 |
Perhaps a reflection of the turmoil Dunbar faced personally as his health continued to decline and his marriage ended, Dunbar's fourth and final novel, The Sport of the Gods, is considered a protest novel. Received far better by critics than any previous novel, the book tells the story of Berry Hamilton, a black butler charged with theft by his white employers. The story follows the family through the hardships they encounter as a result of this experience. | |
