Author: Richard Thomas Hughes
Publisher: Heinemann Educational Publishers
ISBN: 9780226359175
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
Implicit in the rhetoric of American millennialism is the fundamental theme of restoration to a primitive, primeval innocence. Richard T. Hughes and C.

The Burden of Southern History
Author: C. Vann Woodward
Publisher: LSU Press
ISBN: 0807149489
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
C. Vann Woodward's The Burden of Southern History remains one of the essential history texts of our time. In it Woodward brilliantly addresses the interrelated themes of southern identity, southern distinctiveness, and the strains of irony that characterize much of the South's historical experience. First published in 1960, the book quickly became a touchstone for generations of students. This updated third edition contains a chapter, "Look Away, Look Away," in which Woodward finds a plethora of additional ironies in the South's experience. It also includes previously uncollected appreciations of Robert Penn Warren, to whom the book was originally dedicated, and William Faulkner. This edition also features a new foreword by historian William E. Leuchtenburg in which he recounts the events that led up to Woodward's writing The Burden of Southern History, and reflects on the book's -- and Woodward's -- place in the study of southern history. The Burden of Southern History is quintessential Woodward -- wise, witty, ruminative, daring, and as alive in the twenty-first century as when it was written.

America's Book
Author: Mark A. Noll
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0197623468
Category : Bible
Languages : en
Pages : 865
Book Description
"This book shows how the Bible decisively shaped American national history even as that history decisively influenced the use of Scripture. It explores the rise of a strongly Protestant Bible civilization in the early United States that was then fractured by debates over slavery, contested by growing numbers of non-Protestant Americans (Catholics, Jews, agnostics), and torn apart by the Civil War. Scripture survived as a significant, though fragmented, force in the more religiously plural period from Reconstruction to the early twentieth century. Throughout, the book pays special attention to how the same Bible shone as hope for black Americans while supporting other Americans who justified white supremacy"--
