Classicism

Classicism:  adherence to traditional standards (as of simplicity, restraint, and proportion) that are universally and enduringly valid

Many writers during the Harlem Renaissance rejected a Classicist approach to literature, and chose instead, like Zora Neale Hurston, to honor their own cultures through innovative storytelling techniques.
