This is a brave work of literary empathy by a writer at the height of his powers, who demonstrates a magisterial understanding of the period, its clashing cultures, and its heartbreaking crises. ” —Geraldine Brooks, author of March The only authorized prequel to Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind—the unforgettable story of Mammy. On a Caribbean island consumed by the flames of revolution, an infant girl falls under the care of two French émigrés, Henri and Solange Fournier, who take the beautiful child they call Ruth to the bustling American city of Savannah. What follows is the sweeping tale of Ruth’s life as shaped first by her strong-willed mistress, and then by Solange’s daughter Ellen and Gerald O’Hara, the rough Irishman Ellen chooses to marry; the Butler family of Charleston and their unexpected connection to Mammy Ruth; and finally Scarlett O’Hara—the irrepressible Southern belle Mammy raises from birth. As we witness the lives of three generations of women, gifted storyteller Donald McCaig reveals a nuanced portrait of Mammy, at once a proud woman and a captive, a strict disciplinarian who has never experienced freedom herself. Through it all, Mammy endures, a rock in the river of time. Set against the backdrop of the South from the 1820s until the dawn of the Civil War, here is a remarkable story of fortitude, heartbreak, and indomitable will—and a tale that will forever illuminate your reading of Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind.

Download or read book Scarlett s Sisters written by Anya Jabour and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2009-11-13 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scarlett's Sisters explores the meaning of nineteenth-century southern womanhood from the vantage point of the celebrated fictional character's flesh-and-blood counterparts: young, elite, white women. Anya Jabour demonstrates that southern girls and young women faced a major turning point when the Civil War forced them to assume new roles and responsibilities as independent women. Examining the lives of more than 300 girls and women between ages fifteen and twenty-five, Jabour traces the socialization of southern white ladies from early adolescence through young adulthood. Amidst the upheaval of the Civil War, Jabour shows, elite young women, once reluctant to challenge white supremacy and male dominance, became more rebellious. They adopted the ideology of Confederate independence in shaping a new model of southern womanhood that eschewed dependence on slave labor and male guidance. By tracing the lives of young white women in a society in flux, Jabour reveals how the South's old social order was maintained and a new one created as southern girls and young women learned, questioned, and ultimately changed what it meant to be a southern lady.

Download or read book Original Scarlett O Hara written by Nancy Smith and published by Biblio Publishing. This book was released on 2017-09-07 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You've read about the Civil War from the American point of view---now read it from the European!Margaret Mitchell studied the Second Empire in writing her book Gone with the Wind. Both Eugénie and Scarlett were high-spirited and vivacious. They were frustrated by an elusive love and jealous of the women that their men preferred. ¿Desolate and sick of an old passion¿, they were unable to find married happiness and could only be ¿faithful in their fashion¿ so that their husbands found satisfaction elsewhere and Napoleon deliberately flaunted mistresses and marketed Paris as a city of sensual and luxurious delights, thereby creating its unique mystique.Scarlett¿s story crescendoed to the burning of Atlanta; Eugénie¿s crescendoed to the Franco-Prussian War. They each had to flee to save themselves. Scarlett had to weed and hoe and pick cotton; Eugénie had to sell her jewels and adapt to an austere lifestyle in England. The official name of Scarlett and Rhett¿s daughter was Eugénie Victoria (before they nicknamed her Bonnie Blue Butler). Both Scarlett and Eugénie wore hats purchased from the Parisian street rue de la Paix. Eugénie kept a secret man¿s photograph in her private boudoir; Scarlett kept a tintype of Ashley in a drawer of her dressing table. Both Scarlett and Eugénie lost a beloved child. The prime years of Eugénie and Scarlett were the same¿starting in 1861 when the South had just declared war; and 1861 when Eugénie became the most powerful woman in the world. The main theme of their lives was survival, with what Margaret Mitchell called ¿gumption¿. Comparing the women, you¿ll feel a sense of déjà vu.Mary Todd Lincoln tried to copy Eugenie¿s fashions from Godey¿s Lady¿s Book. She presented a magnificent ball emulating a Fête Impériale while her son Willie was mortally sick upstairs. She had her White House china bordered with solferino purple which Eugenie popularized, and spent some of her last years in Pau in the Pyrenees near Biarritz which Eugenie made famous.
