Books by John Herbert Roper

By no means uncritical of Woodward's work, John Herbert Roper shows that books such as Tom Watson: Agrarian Rebel, Origins of the New South, and The Strange Career of Jim Crow effectively defined the terms of historical debate, often asking the "impertinent first question" that spurred other historians to seek fuller answers.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for his play ""In Abraham's Bosom"" and author of the pioneering symphonic drama ""The Lost Colony"", Paul Green was a literary figure of prominence during the 1920s and 1930s. This work presents his life, drawing on Green's papers and interviews with family members.
