Author: George Alfred Townsend
Publisher: Good Press
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 331
Book Description
In 'The Entailed Hat or, Patty Cannon's Times', George Alfred Townsend offers a gripping and authentic portrayal of the illegal slave trade and murder ring led by Patty Cannon, co-leader of the Cannon-Johnson Gang. Set on the Eastern Shore of Chesapeake Bay, where Townsend was born and raised, the novel unfolds slowly but surely, revealing the truth about the Reverse Underground Railroad. Despite being a man of his time, Townsend's vivid descriptions of locale, dialogue, and characters make for an engaging and believable read. Readers are transported to Princess Anne, an old seat of justice and gentle-minded town on the Eastern Shore, where eccentric citizens like Jack Wonnell and Meshach Milburn (or "Steeple-top") are identified by their hats. The first chapter alone sets the stage for a gripping tale of mystery, intrigue, and historical significance.

International Bohemia
Author: Daniel Cottom
Publisher: University of Pennsylvania Press
ISBN: 0812208072
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 366
Book Description
How did this vagabond word, bohemia, migrate across national borderlines over the course of the nineteenth century, and what happened to it as it traveled? In International Bohemia, Daniel Cottom studies how various individuals and groups appropriated this word to serve the identities, passions, cultural forms, politics, and histories they sought to animate. Beginning with the invention of bohemianism's modern sense in Paris during the 1830s and 1840s, Cottom traces the twists and turns of this phenomenon through the rest of the nineteenth century and into the early years of the twentieth century in the United States, England, Italy, Spain, and Germany. Even when they traveled under the banner of l'art pour l'art, the bohemians of this era generally saw little reason to observe borderlines between their lives and their art. On the contrary, they were eager to mix up the one with the other, despite the fact that their critics often reproached them on this account by claiming that bohemians were all talk—do-nothings frittering away their lives in cafés and taverns. Cottom's study of bohemianism draws from the biographies of notable and influential figures of the time, including Thomas Chatterton, George Sand, George Eliot, Henry Murger, Alexandre Privat d'Anglemont, Walt Whitman, Ada Clare, Iginio Ugo Tarchetti, and Arthur Conan Doyle. Through a wide range of novels, memoirs, essays, plays, poems, letters, and articles, International Bohemia explores the many manifestations of this transnational counterculture, addressing topics such as anti-Semitism, the intersections of race and class, the representation of women, the politics of art and masquerade, the nature of community, and the value of nostalgia.
