Woman*s Club Hears Of
Nobel Literature Winner
The monthly meeting of the
Woman’s Club was held on Jan-
cary 12 at the home of Mrs. H. B.
Senn. Mrs. Neil Truesdell, presi
dent, presided, and announced
•that the mid-winter Board meeting
of the South Carolina Federation
of Women’s clubs would he held
on January 26 at the Columbia
botel. Mrs. James C. Kinard an
nounced that plans had been com
pleted for a reciprocity tea to be
held at the home of Mrs. Trues-
dell on February 9.
Mrs. F. Scott Elliott was the
program leader for the afternoon
and used as her topic “William
.Faulkner.” She said that in re
cent years she had made a spec
ial study of his works, and relat
ed that William Faulkner is the
only Southerner to be awarded the
Nobel prize in literature. It was
on November 10, 1950 while lim
ing a field at his home on the out
skirts of Oxford, Miss that news
reached him that he had won this
honor, said the speaker, and went
on as follows: “A month later, ac
companied by his daughter, Jill,
he went to Stockholm to receive
the award which carries with it
more than $30,000. He achieved
one of the most impressive feats
of the imagination in modern lit
erature when he invented and be
came the 'sole proprietor’ of Jef
ferson and Yoknapatawpha coun
ty, Mississippi. It was due to
these literary inventions that he
was awarded the Nobel prize.”
Mrs. Elliott, a native of Miss
issippi, having been reared in the
central part of the state, was
able to intersperse her remarks
with historical and local data that
added to the enlightment of her
listeners. Her review of Faulkner
continued:
“William Faulkner came by writ
ing naturally, following in the
footsteps of his great-grandfather
William C. Faulkner who wrote a
popular novel in 1880 entitled
“The White Rose of Memphis!”
This was republished in 1952.
After giving a portrait of Wil
liam Faulkner, Mrs. Elliott con
cluded her program with a re
view' of “A Fable” which was
awarded the Pulitzer Prize,
for literature in 1955. The author
spent nine years in writing the
novel, she said. “It is a parable in
which the tragedy and triumph of
the Crucifixion and Resurrection
of Christ are re-enacted on the
battlefield of Frajice in 1918. This
is told with genuine reverence and
pictures contemporary man’s con
flicts within himself, his aspira
tions and anguish and hope of
final redemption.”
The president thanked the
speaker for bringing to the club
members the results of her study.
