Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Lee and Its Neighbourhood Having now completed my long-promised History of the ancient Parish of Lee, I respectfully present the same to my Fellow-Parishioners and other Readers. It owes its publication to an appeal from many old Parishioners to the Writer, and as I have been a resident in the parish for upwards of seventy years, and a Parochial Officer and elected Member of the various Parochial Committees for more than forty years, and being familiar, also, with the local traditions and records of the Parish, and having in my possession many ancient plans and drawings of the old Church, Rectory, and Mansions, I am enabled to do something in writing this short history, and leaving a memento of my local knowledge to the Parishioners. Several years have rolled away since the first application was made to me for its production. It is now due to the leisure the Writer enjoys, after having toiled hard in various ways, with close application, for the benefit of the Parish at large. For the part of the History previous to the present century, I have employed Hasted's and Edwards's Topographies and Surveys, and no one can be more convinced of the truth of these materials, and their ability to do justice to the subject, than I am. Every parish has its history in its Church Registers and Parish Records and local Traditions, which may prove of value to all succeeding generations of Parishioners; and I venture to hope that this History may be of some value too, so far as it forms an integral part, however small, in a parish with its landmarks.

Download or read book Jean Toomer and the Terrors of American History written by Charles Scruggs and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jean Toomer's Cane was the first major text of the Harlem Renaissance and the first important modernist text by an African-American writer. It powerfully depicts the terror in the history of American race relations, a public world of lynchings, race riots, and Jim Crow, and a private world of internalized conflict over identity and race which mirrored struggles in the culture at large. Toomer's own life reflected that internal conflict, and he has been an ambiguous figure in literary history, an author who wrote a text that had a tremendous impact on African American authors but who eventually tried to distance himself from Cane and from his identification as a black writer. In Jean Toomer and the Terrors of American History, Charles Scruggs and Lee VanDemarr examine original sources—Toomer's rediscovered early writings on politics and race, his extensive correspondence with Waldo Frank, and unpublished portions of his autobiographies—to show how the cultural wars of the 1920s influenced the shaping of Toomer's book and his subsequent efforts to escape the racial definitions of American society. That those definitions remain crucial for American society even today is one reason Toomer's work continues to fascinate and to influence contemporary writers and readers.

Download or read book Robert E Lee the Southerner Classic Reprint written by Thomas Nelson Page and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Robert E. Lee the Southerner This sketch of a great Virginian is not written with the expectation or with even the hope that the writer can add anything to the fame of Lee; but rather in obedience to a feeling that as the son of a Confederate soldier, as a Southerner, as an American, he owes something to himself and to his countrymen, which he should endeavor to pay, though it may be but a mite cast into the Treasury of Abundance. The subject is not one to be dealt with in the language of eulogy. To attempt to decorate it with panegyric would but belittle it. What the writer proposes to say will be based upon public records, or on the testimony of those personal witnesses who by character and opportunity for observation would be held to furnish evidence by which the gravest concerns of life would be decided.

Life of William Shakespeare is a biography of William Shakespeare by the eminent critic Sidney Lee. This book was one of the first major biographies of the Bard of Avon. It was published in 1898, based on the article contributed to the Dictionary of National Biography. William Shakespeare (1564 – 1616) was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon". His extant works, including some collaborations, consist of about 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and a few other verses, the authorship of some of which is uncertain. Sir Sidney Lee (1859 – 1926) was an English biographer and critic. He was a lifelong scholar and enthusiast of Shakespeare. His article on Shakespeare in the fifty-first volume of the Dictionary of National Biography formed the basis of his Life of William Shakespeare. This full-length life is often credited as the first modern biography of the poet.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Robert E. Lee Not every young man of seventeen is strong enough to carry his mother about in his arms and yet suffer no harm from it. But young Robert Lee did it many a time: and his erect, well-knit frame bore the strain without the slightest ill-effects. His mother was an invalid; her husband, Lieutenant Colonel Harry Lee, had fought in the American Revolution under General George Washington. He had been known as "Light Horse Harry," and his soldiers had formed "Lee's Legion," a command of mixed cavalry and infantry famous for their activity and daring. But this distinguished friend of George Washington, after several years of illness, had died six years before; and his widow had devoted herself to the care of her children, five in number.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Campaigns of General Lee This must be the translator's plea to justify him in the course he has taken. He is well aware of the existence of more than one life of General Lee, compiled in English but they were written by Americans, published in America, and, therefore, are more or less imbued with the American style and mode of feeling. So far, they are unsuitable to European taste. They are, besides, long, and somewhat tiresome in their description of battles, and in their general minuteness of details.

Download or read book Lee and His Lieutenants written by Edward A. Pollard and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-26 with total page 878 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lee and His Lieutenants: Comprising the Early Life, Public Services, and Campaigns of General Robert E. Lee and His Companions in Arms, With a Record of Their Campaigns and Heroic Deeds Authenticity is more difiicult in biography than in history; the domain of anecdote is always doubtful; and the most we can obtain of the lives of particular men comes to us through the prejudices and colours of personal narration. Sensible of the difficulties and uncertainties which beset his task, the author may yet declare that he has executed it with such care that he has admitted no statement of fact without ample authority, and mentioned not even the slightest incident without the support of credible testimony. He has been greatly assisted from the notes and memories of surviving actors of the great drama; he has drawn something from various publications contemporary with the war - among which he would especially mention the Southern Illustrated News, one of the most interesting literary souvenirs of the Confederacy; and he has explored for evidence every print and manuscript of the documentary history of the Richmond Government. At least, he has not been deficient in research, however he may have used his discoveries. It has been arranged that the biographies in this volume should cover the whole space of the action of the late war. Including all the great commanders, they contain some name dear to each part of the former Confederacy, and thus have an interest distributed through all the States of the South.

Download or read book The Soul of Lee Classic Reprint written by Randolph H. McKim and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-09 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Soul of Lee The purpose of this little volume is to give in brief compass an epitome of the life and the campaigns of General Robert E. Lee, with sufficient detail, however, to convey a true impression of his genius as a soldier and his exalted character as a man. The author believes that at this crisis when our young men are offering their strength and their lives in the greatest struggle for liberty and democracy the world has ever seen, a study of the life and character of Lee cannot but be an inspiration. For the great Southern leader was more than a Southerner - he was an American; and the time has come when the whole country may take an honest pride in his military genius and in the high ideals which governed him in his campaigns, while the study of those campaigns may well arouse the emulation of the young soldiers of our new national army as they mark the splendid valor and constancy of the men who fought in both the Union and the Confederate armies more than fifty years ago.

Download or read book Community Boundaries and Border Crossings written by Kristen Lillvis and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2016-12-21 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalization and transnationalism have reshaped our communities and their borderlines. Communities exceed fixed boundaries, existing instead in the liminal spaces where narratives intersect, clash, or cooperate. These liminal spaces—physical and virtual, local and global—provide opportunities for diversifying discussions on diaspora, cultural hybridity, and ethnic identity. Ethnic women writers make significant contributions to this dialogue regarding the reconfiguration of people and their perimeters. A multigenre and multicultural text, Community Boundaries and Border Crossings explores the novels, short stories, essays, autobiographies, testimonios, plays, poems, and hybrid poetics of established and emerging ethnic women writers. This collection of critical essays highlights the new zones of cultural contact and exchange that are defining the twenty-first century. Each chapter reflects an awareness of cultural changes and challenges, engaging readers in a richly productive conversation concerning the interconnectedness of border crossings and community boundaries.
