American Literature

Understanding Harper Lee Born 1926 in Monroeville, Alabama. Mother was a homemaker and father was a lawyer. Early in his career, her father defended two black men, a father and son, accused of murdering a white store keeper—both men were hanged.

Early Life As a child, Harper Lee was an unruly tomboy. She fought on the playground. She talked back to teachers. She was bored with school and resisted any sort of conformity.

An Ambitious Writer To Kill a Mockingbird was published in 1960 to amazing reviews and quickly climbed the bestseller lists, where it remained for eighty-eight weeks. In 1961, the novel won the Pulitzer Prize. Despite her father's hopes that she would become a local attorney like her sister, Lee went to New York to pursue her writing.

FAME In the meantime, To Kill a Mockingbird has sold more than thirty million copies in eighteen languages. Lee continued to lead a quiet and guardedly private life. According to a biographer, Lee was unprepared for the amount of personal attention associated with writing a bestseller. She never finished another book but helped her close friend and famous author, Truman Capote research his novel, In Cold Blood.

To Kill a Mockingbird The novel is a Bildungsroman: a coming of age novel It is also a Southern Gothic novel: deals with crumbling traditions of the south, erasure of aristocracy, poverty, and problems present at this time in American South. It is the most widely read book about race in America. The story is told through the eyes of Scout, an unreliable narrator who is 6 at the beginning of the novel and 10 when it is over.

Inspiration Lee’s hometown, Monroeville, embodies the small town southern atmosphere found in TKAM. Her father’s failed case and the Scottsboro Trial also inspired Lee to explore interracial drama and injustice. What do you know about the American South Pre-Civil Rights? The setting of TKAM is a small town in Alabama during the 1930’s. Jim Crow laws—still present in Alabama until 1968.
