  His Family (Ernest Poole)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Poole thought that portraying women as hedonists or social scientists was modern; it was, but his style is very old-fashioned, so that much of this comes across as overly melodramatic, even soap-operish.
Poole was not the only author at this time to fail in this way; in fact, he might be among the better of the writers whose means of telling his story hadn't progressed as far as the story itself.
Ernest Poole's 'His Family' focuses on the latter year's of Roger Gale's life as he attempts to pursue his wife's dying wish: for him to live on in their children's lives.

Ernest was born in 1904, in Longton, Stoke, at the heart of the potteries.
Ernest continued to design, in the former projection room that he had made his studio, until his death in 1987 at the age of 83, finding great pleasure in his customers enjoyment and appreciation of his china.
We feel that Ernest deserves to be more widely recognised, both as the fair, generous and caring man that we knew and the inspired, dedicated and talented potter that he undoubtedly was was and that his many thousands of customers know him to be.

 His Family   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Each of the sisters is selfish: the eldest is overly concerned with her immediate family; the second is overly concerned with the social inequalities of the masses, and the youngest is overly concerned with pleasure and the accumulation of luxury; each is blind to anything that disturbs their own world view.
The major flaw is Poole's overly rhetorical ending (common in novels of this period) and his irritating verbatim repetition of the theme of the novel: "you will live on in our children's lives." The reader is forced to endure this thematic recapitulation at least two dozen times.
Poole's book tells the story of aging patriarch Roger Gale and the lives of his three daughters - Laura, with her reckless abandon and zest for life; Deborah, with her fierce devotion to the tenement schoolchildren she assists; and Edith, the mother of five whose entire world revolves around her children.

 Views From The Top - Forums - The Great White Hills of New Hampshire
Poole explains in the preface, "To The Hills," that, as a writer, he first wintered in NYC and summered in Sugar Hill (next to Franconia).
Poole then embarks on a series of loosely-related chapters that range over familiar historical topics: Indians and pioneers, logging, the successful effort to save Franconia Notch from the logger's axe, and so forth.
Poole subsequently develops a number of chapters that sketch the social, political, and natural history of hill towns: mountain politics, village stores, crimes and quarrels, transportation, inns and hostelries, wild life.

 From Lithuania to the Chicago Stockyards, 1904
Ernest Poole (1880-1950), a journalist who would go on to win the Pulitzer Prize, recorded this memoir when he was investigating the labor movement in Chicago's meatpacking industry.
The story not only supports Poole's pro-labor position but also casts light on the survival strategies of immigrants during this period.
For the purposes of Poole's political agenda, in fact, this story seems almost too good to be true, with its vision of the American dream, with the old shoemaker's condemnation of John D. Rockefeller, and with the Lithuanian's unqualified support of the labor movement.
