CO A lecture series to highlight novels Three novels of the 19th century will be the focus of a free state wide lecture series in April and May, spon sored by the N.C. Literary and His torical Association. The series is made possible by a grant of $6,800 from the N.C. Human ities Committee, and includes a novel from each of three areas of North Carolina? the coastal plain, the pied mont and the mountains. Entitled "Three North Carolina Novels of the Nineteenth Century," the series is offered in an effort to re vive interest in the state's rich liter ary heritage, according to Dr. Jef frey J. Crow, secretary-treasurer of the Association. The often neglected, but important, novels highlight the cultural, political and social life of nineteenth century North Carolina, he added. The N.C. Literary and His torical Association, established 1900, is the states oldest ongoing cultural group. The coastal novel, "Bettie: or, Life in the Old Field, a Humorous Novel (1851)" by "Gregory Seaworthy," the nom de plume of George H. Throop, details plantation life in east ern North Carolina. Throop was a Yankee schoolmaster who taught in North Carolina from 1349 to 1852. "Bricks Without Straw" (1800) was Albion Winegar Tourgee's second novel about Reconstruction in North Carolina. A carpetbagger politician and judge, Tourgee settled in Greens boro after the Civil War, and the novel reflects some of the issues he faced and problems he experienced. "Eoneguski," (1839) by Robert Strange, a superior court judge and U.S. senator, is an epic romance of the mountain frontier border. Strange's novel, the first-ever to use North Carolina as a setting, is a sym pathetic portrayal of native Ameri cans and the loss of their lands to white settlers. Literary and historical scholars will examine the novels from the per spective of their individual fields of study, with special emphasis on the works as examples of the early novel and as documents in themselves for interpreting the history of the state and its three major regions. All forums will begin at 7:30 p.m. and last for 90 minutes. Each speaker will present a 25-minute talk, to be followed by discussion with the audi ence. At each host site copies or ex cerpts from the novels will be avail able to the public ahead of time. The Literary and Historical Asso ciation is a support group for the His torical Publications Section of the Department of Cultural Resources. Dr. Crow, administrator of the sec tion will serve as project director of the lecture series. For details write the North Carolina Literary and His torical Association, 109 E. Jones St., Raleigh, 27611, or call (919)733-7305. Look who's new DERRICK C.
