Foot-Washers "I think its okay, reverend, she doesn't understand it" "dont you all believe in foot-washing?" DO NOT READ To Kill a Mockingbird: Context Nelle Harper Lee was born on April 28, 1926, in Monroeville, Alabama, a sleepy small town similar in many ways to Maycomb, the setting of To Kill a Mockingbird. Like Atticus Finch, the father of Scout, the narrator and protagonist of To Kill a Mockingbird, Lee’s father was a lawyer. Among Lee’s childhood friends was the future novelist and essayist Truman Capote, from whom she drew inspiration for the character Dill. These personal details notwithstanding, Lee maintains that To Kill a Mockingbird was intended to portray not her own childhood home but rather a nonspecific Southern town. Yet the book’s setting and characters are not the only aspects of the story shaped by events that occurred during Lee’s childhood. Lee began To Kill a Mockingbird in the mid-1950s, after moving to New York to become a writer. Critical response to To Kill a Mockingbird was mixed: a number of critics found the narrative voice of a nine-year-old girl unconvincing and called the novel overly moralistic.
