Excerpt from Literary Profiles of the Southern States: A Manual for Schools and Clubs Tuscaloosa has been a literary center since Carl Carmer was on the faculty at the University and wrote Stars F ell on Alabama, a book on folklore and history which supplied the title of a popular song. The ante - bellum houses near Boligee are described in the book - Thornhill, Rosemount, and Hill of Howth. Hudson Strode, a native of Demopolis, teaches a class in creative writing at the University which has produced such novelists as Edward Kimbrough, who teaches there now. Robert Gibbons, also a member of the faculty, has written Bright is the Morning and The Patchwork Time, both laid in Alabama small towns. In addi tion to books like The Pageant of Cuba, The Story of Bermuda, South By T hunderbird, and Denmark Is a Lovely Land, Strode has written the introduction to Spring Harvest, a collection of stories from Alabama. William Bradford Huie, a native of Hartselle and a graduate of the University now living in Silver Spring, Maryland, wrote Mud on the Stars, a novel laid in Alabama, and the recent The Revolt of Mamie Stover. He is the editor of the American Mercury. Clement Wood, who was born in Tuscaloosa, wrote The Mountain, Deep River, Folly, and Nigger. James Saxon Childers used the University of Alabama as the setting of his novel God Save the Duke.
