"In Their Eyes Were Watching God, Miss Hurston has fulfilled the early promise of her first books. Her writing is of the essence of poetry, deeply communicative, possessed of a primitive rhythm that speaks truly to the consciousness even before thought can form. This new novel is one of warmth and humor and rich, transcendent beauty" (p. [1]). One of the most important novels of the Harlem Renaissance, Their Eyes Were Watching God achieved renewed attention beginning in the late 1970s and is know often considered one of the greatest works of 20th-century fiction.
