first edition. "Cotton is the chief character in Du Bois's first novel, which takes place in Toomsville, Alabama. Alwyn and Zora are two Negroes who quickly distinguish themselves as models of virtue and justice. Zora rises from an uneducated field hand to a teacher in a private Negro school. Southern aristocracy is satirized and northern profits in southern cotton supply the additional economic background." Whiteman, A Century of Fiction by American Negroes.
