* Book Review I *
LITERATURE IN THE ALBEMARLE
By Bettie Freshwater Pool
(Literature in the Albemarle, by Bet
tie Freshwater Pool, is published by
the Baltimore City Printing and Bind
ing Company, Baltimore, Maryland,
and is on sale by the author, Miss Bet
tie Freshwater Pool, Elizabeth City,
N. C. The price is $2.00 net, cloth
bound and attractively stamped in
gold.)
Of special interest to the people of
Eastern North Carolina and to all North
Carolinians in general is the book, “Lit
erature in the Albemarle,’’ by Miss
Bettie Freshwater Pool, of Elizabeth
City, N. C. It is of peculiar interest to
the former because of the fact that it
deals exclusively with the writers of
the eastern section of the state, and to
the latter because it is written by a
North Carolinian and makes a distinc
tive and unique contribution to the lit
erature of North Carolina. The chief
object of the book is to preserve, in
attractive form, the hitherto unpublish
ed literature produced by the writers
of the Albemarle section. In case an
author has had books published Miss
Pool gives only brief extracts present
ing his best style and depicting the
nature of his work. This stanza from a
poem, “Harp of the South,” by the
author, expresses well her purpose in
compiling and writing this book:
“Harp of the South, too long this land
of ours—
Home of the free, the brave—
So rich in story, bright with honor’s
flow ’rs,
Beholds thy strings unstrung.
Her noblest deeds no golden chord hath
rung
Sound glorious praise! Harp of the
South, awake I ”
Miss Pool's object is to ring the
“golden chords” in honor of these
writers of the Albemarle,
“Literature in the Albemarle” is a
collection of the biographies and selec
tions from the works of twenty-four of
the writers of that section. This num
ber includes a similar sketch of the
author, the biographical part of which
is written by William M. Hinton. To
obtain the data necessary for the •writ
ing of these biographies has required
years of painstaking research and care
ful investigation and the author de
serves high commendation for having
so worthily made this survey. Each
writer is portrayed with sympathy and
understanding. She possesses a rare
insight, a cultured and incisive mind,
and this is revealed in the delineations
which she draws of the writers about
whom her sketches are written, ^he
author’s style is particularly pleasing,
clear, fresh, fluent and charming. Her
own poetry is delightful in its regard
for simplicity, sincerity, idealistic
thought and optimism. It has a musical
rhythm and an unaffected beauty. She
has made a nice discrimination in the
selection of the extracts both of prose
and poetry by the other writers who are
included in the book. Some of these
are near to perfection and many show
genuine literary merit. One of her own
prose selections, “The Nag’s Head Pic
ture of Theodosia Burr,” is especially
interesting because of the information
and historical *lore contained therein.
Although the volume is somewhat lim
ited in its scope it possesses a high de
gree of exc'ellence and should flnd a
place in every library in the state. It
would also serve excellently as a sup
plementary reading taught in con,nec-
tion with the literature classes in the
high schools and colleges of the state.
It is of peculiar interest because it is
written about North Carolinians by a
North Carolinian.
“O queenly State! Lift up thy fair,
proud head.
The while thy sons and daughters honor
