"It was a brief but formative period for Pearl, because this is where she really delved into and was encouraged in her writing," said Thomas J. Campanella. "I wanted to help restore her legacy."
Pearl S. Buck, a household name by the onset of the 1930s, had won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction for 'The Good Earth' before receiving the Nobel Prize.
The historic marker near the Bucks' first Ithaca home commemorates Pearl's significant contributions as a writer and humanitarian who promoted Chinese culture in the West.
In 1924, Pearl S. Buck received mentorship from English professor Martin W. Sampson, which played a crucial role in her development as a successful novelist.
