Beschreibung:
Author, educator, and librarian William S. Hoole (1903-1990) dedicated his life to libraries and education. Trained as an educator, Hoole soon found himself in the role of librarian at The University of Alabama and oversaw widespread improvements in its library system. In addition, he was a founding member of the Alabama Historical Association and editor of its journal, The Alabama Review, from 1948 to 1967.
"Alias Simon Suggs" is a study of realism and folk literature and of the sources and techniques of story-telling, via an examination of Johnson Jones Hooper and his racy and insightful 1845 masterpiece of American humor and satire, "Adventures of Simon Suggs."
