Untitled[edit]

The entry should be T.S. Stribling, the name he wrote under.

I'll create a re-direct page here, in case anyone goes looking for him under that abbreviated name.--BillFlis 17:31, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Inappropriate note removed[edit]

I removed an inappropriate note of criticism. The proper treatment for errors found in an article would be to replace the erroneous text. Folklore1 (talk) 20:49, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Remove incorrect material re TVA[edit]

There are no sources cited for the description of "The Unfinished Cathedral" as set during a land boom in the 1920s related to purported Tennessee Valley Authority projects under Pres. Herbert Hoover. This is utterly wrong. The novel was published in 1934. The TVA was authorized by Congress and signed into law in 1933 by Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt, as part of his New Deal to help the region with new infrastructure and development during the Great Depression, which had not started in the early 1920s. This description does not seem to correspond with those online about this novel.Parkwells (talk) 17:06, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Scottsboro trial[edit]

Stribling sets the Scottsboro trial in Florence as an example of the kind of trial that could take place in the South; he says his use of material is "incidental and by no means literal", and he didn't follow the trial to its end. In "An Apology to Florence", published in Wings in June 1934, he says his interest in the trial was largely to reflect the way different social classes of the South reacted to it, in addition to reactions among Northern groups and Northerners who intervened in events.^[1]
