Zora Neale Hurston wrote Their Eyes Were Watching God. This 1937 novel follows Janie Crawford in the Florida countryside and uses a distinct, expressive voice to explore a woman’s search for identity and independence, a hallmark of Hurston’s work during the Harlem Renaissance. The other names are authors known for different works—Oscar Wilde for plays like The Importance of Being Earnest, Margaret Mitchell for Gone with the Wind—so they did not write this book. Hurston is the author of this work.
