"Julia Mood Peterkin published her Scarlet Sister Mary in 1928 at a crucial time in the history of American literature as a whole and Southern writing in particular, for new trends toward realism were being set by such writers as Theodore Dreiser, Henry James, Edith Wharton, and Sinclair Lewis. Julia Peterkin was one of the few Southern authors to produce writing in harmony with this trend. Her tender and moving story of Negro plantation life in coastal South Carolina won her the Pulitzer Prize in 1929. The critics were lavish in their praise. "Mrs. Peterkin's prose has a beauty and a richness which is a balm to a distracted world," said the Boston Transcript. The New York Herald-Tribune felt that "as a portrayer of both grief and broad comedy . Mrs. Peterkin is at the present time unsurpassed by any writer in America." The Saturday Review of Literature singled her out as "a novelist whose work has enduring quality." Julia Peterkin's early life gave no indication that she would become a writer. Born (1880) and raised in rural South Carolina, she was an average student who had such great difficulty with English written compositions that she often had her sister write them for her. Yet later, as the wife of a plantation owner, she was encouraged to write by a friend, and for subjects drew heavily on her long observations of the Gullah plantation workers -- coastal Negroes with a unique folklore and dialect. In her writing she created for the first time in American fiction an honest, nonstereotyped portrait of the Southern plantation Negro. To picture her characters as honestly as she wrote of them, the Franklin LIbrary commissioned artist Charles Hamrick to illustrate the book. Hamrick, born in the South but now in Chicago, chose to work in a combination of pencil, watercolors, and chalks on a rough fiberboard surface. His illustrations are here reproduced on a fine 65-pound Warren book paper. Baskerville type was chosen for the text, and the binding is top-grain cowhide. Julia Peterkin followed Scarlet Sister Mary with other successful novels, including Bright Skin (1932), Roll, Jordan, Roll (1933), and Plantation Christmas (1934). They firmly supported one critic's comment that "certainly as an interpreter of the Southern Negro she is preeminent." Mrs. Peterkin died in 1961. "If I present these people," explained Julia Peterkin, "I want more than anything to do it well, to do it as they really are." In Scarlet Sister Mary she succeeded brilliantly." -- The Franklin Library, from the Preliminary Page.
