Louise Clarke Pyrnelle (June 19, 1850 – August 26, 1907) was an Alabama writer.[1] Her works drew heavily from her childhood experiences growing up on an antebellum plantation.
Life
Pyrnelle was born Elizabeth Louise Clarke on a cotton plantation in Perry County, Alabama. After the Civil War, the family moved to Dallas County, where her father opened a medical practice. She was educated in lecturing, and worked as a governess and public speaker.[2]
In 1880 she married John Parnell. Her novel Diddie, Dumps & Tot; or plantation child-life was published in 1882 under the pseudonym "Pyrnelle" – a slight variation on her husband's name. She would publish only one other work during her lifetime: a story called "Aunt Flora's Courtship and Marriage". She died in 1907.[2]
Works
Diddie, Dumps & Tot; or plantation child-life, 1882
- This novel was noted at the time for its use of the southern black vernacular, a dialect also used by Mark Twain and Joel Chandler Harris, and which was thought to add "authenticity" to writing about the American South. The novel offered a nostalgic and romanticized view of antebellum plantation life, and was popular during the 19th and 20th centuries.[2]
Miss Li'l' Tweetty, 1917
- This posthumously published novel describes the childhood experiences of a young girl named 'Tweetty'. Like Diddie, Dumps & Tot, its depictions of slavery were uncritical and nostalgic.[2]
