Book Synopsis
Ellen Glasgow's 1902 Civil War novel is about more than the war or even the battles fought. It explores the struggles of the South prior to the creation of the Confederacy, and discusses issues such as the continued disenfranchisement of African Americans and the changing roles of women, and continually tries to find moments of humanity in the dehumanizing setting of civil war.
