To Kill a Mockingbird- Background
Harper Lee was born in 1926 in Monroeville, Alabama and grew up there. She studied law but left school to pursue a career in writing. Her only published novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, was released in 1960 and was set in Monroeville, Alabama during the Great Depression. It dealt with themes of racial injustice and the loss of innocence. The main characters included Scout, a young girl who narrates the story, her brother Jem, their lawyer father Atticus Finch, and their neighbor Boo Radley. The book was a major success and helped shed light on racial issues during the Civil Rights Movement.
Nelle harper lee biography
Harper Lee is an American writer best known for her novel "To Kill a Mockingbird", published in 1961. The book won the Pulitzer Prize and tells the story of a lawyer defending an African American man falsely accused of rape in the 1930s. It emphasizes themes of racial injustice and the loss of childhood innocence. Though her first and only novel, it was a critical and commercial success. The book was adapted into an Academy Award-winning film in 1962 starring Gregory Peck. Lee has lived a private life in her hometown since, avoiding interviews and public appearances.
Stowe and douglass
Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe and Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave by Frederick Douglass were two influential works that helped shape the debate around slavery in the United States in the 1800s. Both works brought emotional and factual accounts of the cruel realities of slavery to wide audiences, countering pro-slavery arguments. While Stowe's novel reached more mainstream white audiences, Douglass' memoir provided critical perspective as one of the few widely published first-person accounts by a former slave. Together, these works galvanized anti-slavery supporters and intensified the growing national divide over slavery that eventually led to the Civil War.
