Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 214 p. illus. 19 cm. ; OCLC 1392002998 green cloth in pictorial green and beige dustjacket ; Longstreet's good-natured narrators paint a lively picture of the Georgia frontier-hilariously contrasting rural and village life and the clash of the vernacular and genteel cultures ; Augustus Baldwin Longstreet is often described as the first literary portraitist of Georgia's common man. Longstreet's Georgia Scenes, Characters, Incidents, Etc. in the First Half Century of the Republic (1835) was a groundbreaking work which drew the contemporary praise of Edgar Allan Poe for its penetrating understanding of Southern character. A circuit-riding lawyer in Augusta and Greensboro in the first quarter of the nineteenth century, Longstreet drew from his experiences to sketch Georgia Scenes' crossroads character types with their emerging dialects, manners, and moral conflicts. Fueled by Longstreet's acute ear for his characters' speech and his narrative pose of corrective laughter, the nineteen tales made for an immensely popular work that ran through eleven editions between 1835 and 1897. Initially published as individual sketches in various newspapers (including Longstreet's own Augusta-based States Rights Sentinel), Georgia Scenes opened up a literary gold seam. As sketches of comic reality for antebellum readers, the book inspired the talents of 19th-century humorists and local color writers whose ultimate expression arrived with Mark Twain. Later, in the twentieth century, the moral conflicts of Longstreet's crossroads stakeholders, town rowdies, and backwoods louts would be resurrected in the humid and often violent landscape drawn by 20th-century Southern writers like Faulkner and O'Connor. Longstreet never returned to the rowdy, comic writing of Georgia Scenes. Instead, he sold his newspaper and dedicated himself to educational and ministerial missions. He became a Methodist minister and served as president of four universities, including a newly founded Emory College from 1839 to 1848. He wrote numerous political pamphlets but only one other work of fiction, Master William Mitten, a dour moralising tale which critics have described as Longstreet's own reaction against the comic popularity of Georgia Scenes. During the Civil War he wrote articles supporting the Southern cause and served briefly as a chaplain of the Georgia militia. After the war he retired to Mississippi to live with his granddaughter and died there in 1870. ; Contents: Georgia Theatrics -- The Dance -- The Horse Swap -- The Character of a Native Georgian -- The Fight -- The Song -- The Turn Out -- The Charming Creature as a Wife -- The Gander Pulling -- The Ball -- The Mother and her Child -- The Debating Society -- The Militia Drill -- The Turf -- An Interesting Interview -- The Fox Hunt -- The Wax Works -- A Sage Conversation -- The Shooting Match ; Reprint of the Harper & Brothers, "Second edition" of 1847 ; FINE/FINE.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Augustus Baldwin Longstreet (1790-1870) was a lawyer, judge, state senator, newspaper editor, minister, political propagandist, and college president. He was also a writer who published one of Georgia's first important literary works in 1835, Georgia Scenes, Characters, Incidents, Etc. in the First Half Century of the Republic. John Donald Wade's biography of Longstreet was first published in 1924 but was out of print during most of Wade's lifetime. In this 1969 reissue, M. Thomas Inge provides a bibliography of Wade's published work in addition to an introduction. As Inge notes, this biography was one of the first attempts to assess the cultural background of southern literature and it was the first real effort to investigate the nature of southwestern humor. In the opening chapter Wade announces his theme by saying that the history of Longstreet becomes 'an epitome, in some sense, of American civilization.' The biography gradually narrows to a southern focus and as Inge remarks, Wade attempts 'to take a panoramic view of the psyche of an entire society through one representative figure.'. …

Through detailed analysis, Wade explores Wesley's theological shifts, his commitment to social reform, and his organizational genius in establishing a network of lay preachers and societies that would eventually become a global denomination.This biography goes beyond mere chronology, capturing the fervor of the Great Awakening and the social tensions of the Georgian era. It illuminates how Wesley's dedication to personal piety and public service challenged the religious status quo and left an indelible mark on the cultural and spiritual landscape of the English-speaking world.
