A NIGHT'S IMPRISONMENT. NE of the chief charms which that eventful summer in the country possessed for me, was the anticipated pleasure of having as much of cousin Liz's society as I desired. Of all my relatives and playmates, she was the most beloved and the dearest. Grandma's openly expressed partiality induced her mother to permit her to spend a good deal of time at the Park, so that visits of several days' duration were frequent. Aunt Ann was her grandmother; though she was not so fond of cousin Liz as of another granddaughter, who was passing several months in her home. This cousin had been quite out of health for a considerable time past, and had been sent from the low country; her parents hoping that the fretful, irritable condition in which an attack of fever had left her, might be dispelled in a more healthful section. Cousin Liz and I had an avowed horror of Emma, and avoided her on every possible occasion. I fear we oftentimes persuaded her that our plays were too fatiguing for her participation, when really it was more a desire upon our part to pass the time uninterruptedly, than any anxiety we felt on her account. Aunt Ann was specially fond and proud of Emma; she being very pretty, and unusually bright. Her birthday occurring during this visit, she decided to celebrate the event by giving a party, to which all the children for miles around should be invited. Owing to the distances at which most of the intended guests resided, it was determined to ask them to arrive promptly at two o'clock, and remain until sundown; thus giving ample time for them to reach home in the early moonlight. Cousin Will and uncle Billie (aunt Ann's bachelor son), wrote the invitations, addressing their own first, as they declared they...

Download or read book Stories with a Moral written by Michael E. Price and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stories with a Moral is the first comprehensive study of the effects of plantation society on literature and the influences of literature on social practices in nineteenth-century Georgia. During the years of frontier settlement, the Civil War, and Reconstruction, Georgia authors voiced their support for the slave system, the planter class, and the ideals of the Confederacy, presenting a humorous, passionate, and at times tragic view of a rapidly changing world. Michael E. Price examines works of fiction, travel accounts, diaries, and personal letters in this thorough survey of King Cotton's literary influence, showing how Georgia authors romanticized agrarian themes to present an appealing image of plantation economy and social structure. Stories with a Moral focuses on the importance of literature as a mode of ideological communication. Even more significant, the book shows how the writing of one century shaped the development of social practices and beliefs that persist, in legend and memory, to this day.

Download or read book Afrodiasporic Forms written by Raquel Kennon and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2022-06-29 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Afrodiasporic Forms explores the epistemological possibilities of the “Black world” paradigm and traces a literary and cultural cartography of the monde noir and its constitutive African diasporas across multiple poetic, visual, and cultural permutations. Examining the transatlantic slave trade and modern racial slavery, Raquel Kennon challenges the US-centric focus of slavery studies and draws on a transnational, eclectic archive of materials from Lusophone, Hispanophone, and Anglophone sources in the Americas to inspect evolving, multitudinous, and disparate forms of Afrodiasporic cultural expression. Spanning the 1830s to the twenty-first century, Afrodiasporic Forms traverses national, linguistic, and disciplinary boundaries as it investigates how cultural products of slavery’s afterlife—including poetry, prose, painting, television, sculpture, and song—shape understandings of the African diaspora. Each chapter uncovers multidirectional pathways for exploring representations of slavery, considering works such as a Brazilian telenovela based on Bernardo Guimarães’s novel A Escrava Isaura, Robert Hayden’s poem “Middle Passage,” Kara Walker’s sculpture A Subtlety, and Juan Francisco Manzano’s Autobiografía de un esclavo. Kennon’s expansive method of comparative reading across the diaspora uses eclectic pairings of canonical and popular textual and artistic sources to stretch beyond disciplinary and national borders, promoting expansive diasporic literacies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fred came to him, and cried hysterically in his arms. Jack had experienced the same feeling for some poor rescued kitten. Fred, with his head full of King Arthur and his knights, mythology, and bits of children's histories, wherein figured heroes and soldiers, elected Jack to the highest niche in his regard. Jack Darcy was a wonderful boy withal, a very prince of boys, who hated study and work, and loved play; who despised Sunday clothes and girls' parties; but who had not his equal for spinning a top, or raising a kite, and when it came to leap-frog, or shortstop, he was simply immense. Then he always knew the best places to dig worms, and the little nooks where fish were sure to bite, the best chestnut and walnut trees; and, with years and experience, he excelled in baseball, skating, wrestling, leaping, and rowing. Jack Darcy was no dunce, either. Only one subject extinguished him entirely, and that was composition. Under its malign influence he sank to the level of any other boy. And here Fred shone pre-eminently, kindly casting his mantle over his friend,—further, sometimes, than a conscientious charity would have admitted; but a boy's conscience is quite as susceptible of a bias as that of older and wiser people. On the other hand, Jack wrestled manfully with many a tough problems on which Fred would have been hopelessly stranded. Once roused the belligerent impulse in Jack, and he would fight his way through.
