In my continuing quest for novels set in Virginia, I recently came across a
pamphlet titled "Virginia Life in Fiction" by Jay Broadus Hubbell, English
professer at Southern Methodist University, published in 1922.
This book is available as a pdf document from books.google.com at:
http://books.google.com/books?
id=DTJDAAAAIAAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=virginia+life+in+fiction#PPP3,M1
On page 51 of this book, Dr. Hubbell writes: ". . . The Long Roll (1911) and
Cease Firing (1912) of Mary Johnston, who has most successfully described
the war."
Any comments or reaction to this statement?
I have begun reading The Long Roll, but I'm not far enough into it to make a
determination about whether Dr. Hubbell's statement holds up.
