Harper Lee. Biography from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Harper Lee, 'To Kill a Mockingbird' author, dead at 89 by Todd Leopold, CNN. February 19, 2016. "Harper Lee, whose debut novel, 'To Kill a Mockingbird,' immortalized her name with its story of justice and race in a small Southern town and became a classic of American literature, has died. She was 89 ... In a statement, Lee's family said, 'The family of Nelle Harper Lee, of Monroeville, Alabama, announced today, with great sadness, that Ms. Lee passed away in her sleep early this morning. Her passing was unexpected. She remained in good basic health until her passing. The family is in mourning and there will be a private funeral service in the upcoming days, as she had requested.'

... 'Mockingbird' ... was drawn from elements of Lee's childhood in Monroeville. In steady prose shaded by memory and lyricism, she describes how an impulsive girl, Scout Finch, her older brother, Jem, their friend Dill and a variety of other townspeople get caught up in the case of Tom Robinson, a black man who's been accused of rape in the Depression-era town of Maycomb, Alabama ... The book won the Pulitzer Prize, and Gregory Peck, who played Atticus in the acclaimed 1962 movie, earned an Oscar for best actor ... An earlier draft of the book, titled 'Go Set a Watchman,' was published in 2015.

Nelle Harper Lee was born in Monroeville on April 28, 1926. She was the youngest of five children born to Amasa Coleman (A.C.) Lee and Frances Cunningham Finch ... Lee attended the University of Alabama, including a short stint in law school, but didn't finish.

... 'Mockingbird' was published in July 1960 and became an immediate best-seller. Indeed, it's never stopped selling; as of 2006, it had sold 30 million copies and moves a million more each year."

Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird author, dies aged 89 from The Guardian, 19 Feb. 2016. "Writer whose 1961 novel became a defining text of 20th-century literature and of racial troubles in the American south has died in Monroeville, Alabama ... Lee, or Nelle as she was known to those close to her, had lived for several years in a nursing home less than a mile from the house in which she had grown up in Monroeville, Alabama - the setting for the fictional Maycomb of her famous book.

... Until last year, Lee had been something of a one-book literary wonder. To Kill a Mockingbird, her 1961 epic narrative about small-town lawyer Atticus Finch's battle to save the life of a black resident threatened by a racist mob, sold more than 40m copies around the world and earned her a Pulitzer prize. George W Bush awarded her the presidential medal of freedom in 2007.

... Lee was the youngest child of lawyer Amasa Coleman Lee and Frances Finch Lee ... Last year's publication of Go Set a Watchman obliged bewildered fans of the novel to reappraise the character of Finch. In that novel, which was in fact the first draft of Mockingbird that had been rejected by her publisher, Finch was portrayed as having been a supporter of the South's Jim Crow laws, saying at one point: 'Do you want Negroes by the carload in our schools and churches and theaters?'

Within minutes of the announcement of the novelist's death, encomiums began to flow. Her literary agent Andrew Nurnberg said in a statement: 'We have lost a great writer, a great friend and a beacon of integrity.'"

(Nelle) Harper Lee (1926-2016). "American writer, famous for her race relations novel TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, which was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1961. ... Descendent from Robert E. Lee, the Southern Civil War general, Harper Lee was born in Monroeville, Alabama."

Nelle Harper Lee Biography from PlanetPapers.

To Kill a Mockingbird - About the Author: Harper Lee (b. 1926, d. 2016). "As a child, Harper Lee was an unruly tomboy. She fought on the playground. She talked back to teachers ..." The Friendship of Harper Lee and Truman Capote. How the Novel Came to Be Written. "The novel had its origins in Lee's hometown of Monroeville, Alabama-the small, Southern town that the fictional Maycomb is based upon. Her father's unsuccessful defense of a black man and his son accused of murder ... helped to shape Lee's budding social conscience and sense of a dramatic story ..."

Analysis, Critique, Reviews and General Resources on To Kill a Mockingbird

Harper Lee's novel is a racist morality tale by Fred Leebron, Special to the P-I (Seattle Post-Intelligencer). "... in some facets, 'Mockingbird' is a transparently bigoted work. ... While 'To Kill a Mockingbird' would like to teach us that racism is skin deep, what it ultimately teaches us is that we will never fully understand the truth about race relations in this country."

Famous Speeches: To Kill a Mockingbird. YouTube video, 6:23 min. Uploaded by hiddenhobbit on Apr 28, 2008:

● To begin with, this case should never have come to trial. The State has not produced one iota of medical evidence that the crime Tom Robinson is charged with ever took place. It has relied instead upon the testimony of two witnesses whose evidence has not only been called into serious question on cross examination, but has been flatly contradicted by the defendant. Now there is circumstantial evidence to indicate that Mayella Ewell was beaten savagely by someone who led, almost exclusively, with his left [hand]. And Tom Robinson now sits before you, having taken "The Oath" with the only good hand he possesses -- his right.

● I have nothing but pity in my heart for the Chief Witness for the State. She is the victim of cruel poverty and ignorance. But, my pity does not extend so far as to her putting a man's life at stake, which she has done in an effort to get rid of her own guilt. Now I say "guilt," gentlemen, because it was guilt that motivated her. She's committed no crime. She has merely broken a rigid and time-honored code of our society, a code so severe that whoever breaks it is hounded from our midst as unfit to live with. She must destroy the evidence of her offense. But, what was the evidence of her offense? Tom Robinson, a human being. She must put Tom Robinson away from her. Tom Robinson was to her a daily reminder of what she did.

● Now what did she do? She tempted a negro. She was white and she tempted a negro. She did something that in our society is unspeakable: She kissed a black man. Not an old uncle, but a strong, young negro man. No code mattered to her before she broke it, but it came crashing down on her afterwards.

● The witnesses for the State, with the exception of the sheriff of Lincoln County, have presented themselves to you gentlemen -- to this Court -- in the cynical confidence that their testimony would not be doubted; confident that you gentlemen would go along with them on the assumption, the evil assumption, that all negroes lie; all negroes are basically immoral beings; all negro men are not to be trusted around our women, an assumption that one associates with minds of their caliber, and which is in itself, gentlemen, a lie -- which I do not need to point out to you.

● And so, a quiet, humble, respectable negro, who has had the unmitigated TEMERITY to feel sorry for a white woman, has had to put his word against two white peoples. The defendant is not guilty. But somebody in this courtroom is.

● Now, gentlemen, in this country, our courts are the great levelers. In our courts, all men are created equal. I'm no idealist to believe firmly in the integrity of our courts and of our jury system. That's no ideal to me. That is a living, working reality!

● Now I am confident that you gentlemen will review without passion the evidence that you have heard, come to a decision, and restore this man to his family.

● In the name of God, do your duty. In the name of God, believe Tom Robinson.

John will cover a bit about Harper Lee's personal life, (seeing as this novel has some autobiographical elements) and her long association with Truman Capote, who figures as a character in the book. You'll get an overview of the plot, and we'll talk a bit about Mockingbird as an example of bildungsroman and Southern Gothic, and look into the novel as a commentary on the racism and patriarchy of the Alabama in which Harper Lee grew up."

To Kill A Mockingbird (1962) - Universal Home Video. Movie review by Guido Henkel. "What makes this movie so special - apart from its touching upon a taboo of the time - is the fact that we witness the story's evolution through the eyes of children. The threats, the injustice, the pain, the fears, the hopes - everything takes on new proportions when seen through the eyes of Scout and Jem. It highly enhances the movie's impact and, while dealing with a melodramatic subject, it never feels clichéd at all. The racial prejudices and the blatant stupidity that come with the times are greatly amplified by the children's natural impartiality and innocence ..."

Jim Crow Laws and To Kill a Mockingbird by Vanessa Devora.

To Kill a Mockingbird: Jim Crow Laws - Critical Essays Racial Relations in the Southern United States from Cliffnotes. "In order to sift through the many layers of prejudice that Lee exposes in her novel, the reader needs to understand the complex history of race relations in the South.

Many states - particularly in the South - passed 'Jim Crow' laws (named after a black, minstrel show character), which severely limited how African Americans could participate in society. The U.S. Supreme Court paved the ways for these laws in 1883 when the court ruled that it couldn't enforce the 14th Amendment at the individual level. The first Jim Crow law appeared in 1890; the laws increased from there and lasted until the civil rights movement of the 1960s."

To Kll a Mockingbird and Jim Crow Laws by Crisann Smith, 11 April 2013. "The Jim Crow laws were passed to ensure that segregation between black and white people would be enforced in public places such as neighborhoods, schools, businesses, restrooms, and more.

There were also 'unspoken rules' that black people had to follow in some communities. A black male couldn't offer his hand to a white male because it could have implied them as being socially equal. A black male also couldn't offer his hand or any other part of his body to a white woman because he could be accused of rape ...

The name Jim Crow was believed to have originated when a white man named Thomas 'Daddy' Rice dressed up as a black man, danced, and sung the song, 'Jump Jim Crow'. It attracted attention and soon became used as a racial slur. A black male could not offer to light a white woman's cigarette because it implied intimacy. Black people could not show affection toward one another (kissing, hugging, etc.) in public because it offended whites."

What are "Jim Crow" laws, and how do they relate to To Kill a Mockingbird? Noelle Thompson, High School Teacher, eNotes: "Quite simply, Jim Crow laws are the laws of racial segregation in the United states that existed from just after the Civil War up until the mid-sixties. They were supposed to insure 'separate but equal' public facilities, but basically assured that whites got the best of everything ... Most everything was affected by Jim Crow laws: all public places (transportation, schools, bathrooms, drinking fountains, ... even the military!) Although many of Maycomb's citizens are quite happy with the Jim Crow laws, Atticus is not. Atticus protests these laws ... in his defense of Tom Robinson."
