A Narrow Escape For Curtiss Rollins At Cliffville

The Betrayal an Unusual Book review in Richmond
A lengthy critical notice of The Betrayal by Walter Neale and Elizabeth Hancock, published by Neale Publishing Company. The piece denounces the novel as sui generis and amorphous, lampoons its Virginia setting and Mahone era characters, and questions its ethics in using real figures as fictionalized persons. It credits Hancock with some literary skill but faults Neale’s structure and biases.
