Swords & Roses

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Swords & Roses' is a vivid and evocative collection of historical sketches that captures the spirit, atmosphere, and personalities of the American South during the tumultuous era of the Civil War. Joseph Hergesheimer moves beyond traditional military chronologies to provide a deeply atmospheric exploration of the individuals and the culture that defined the Southern experience. Through a series of stylized and lyrical chapters, the work brings to life a gallery of notable figures and archetypes, including Varina Howell Davis, General P.G.T. Beauregard, and Nathan Bedford Forrest.The narrative is characterized by its focus on the romanticized ideals of chivalry, courage, and the distinct social fabric of the antebellum and wartime South. By weaving together historical detail with a novelist's eye for character and setting, Hergesheimer explores the emotional and cultural landscape of a world in transition. 'Swords & Roses' serves as a significant literary reflection on Southern identity, offering readers a unique glimpse into the myths and realities that shaped one of the most transformative periods in American history. It remains a compelling study for those interested in the intersections of biography, history, and Southern lore.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
