        W.E.B. Du Bois
      ab: Rather than functioning as propaganda or pastiche, W. E. B. Du Bois's 1928 novel "Dark Princess" actively engages with issues of form and literary tradition in order to question the relationship between fictional modes and social and racial progress. In this novel, Du Bois uses the different literary modes available at the time—most particularly social realism, modernism, and romance. In particular, "Dark Princess's" engagement with the romantic tradition indicates a deliberate and sustained effort to theorize romance as integral to the novel's utopian future and to enact that theory through the novel's formal structures.
