Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Augustus Baldwin Longstreet: A Study of the Development of Culture in the South' is a comprehensive biographical and historical examination of one of the most influential figures in the antebellum American South. Written by John Donald Wade, this work explores the multifaceted life and legacy of Augustus Baldwin Longstreet-lawyer, judge, minister, college president, and pioneering humorist. Through the lens of Longstreet's varied career, Wade provides a profound analysis of the social, political, and intellectual evolution of Georgia and the surrounding region during the nineteenth century.The study delves into Longstreet's most famous literary contribution, 'Georgia Scenes,' and evaluates its role in establishing a distinct tradition of Southern realism and frontier humor. By tracing Longstreet's path from his education at Yale to his leadership at several prominent Southern universities, the book captures the shifting values and cultural aspirations of a society in development. Wade's narrative serves not only as a portrait of a remarkable individual but also as a critical look at the cultural foundations of the South. This scholarly work remains an essential resource for those interested in American literary history, regional identity, and the development of educational and religious institutions in the Old South.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

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.'
