Irish Catholic Writers and the Invention of the American South
Author: Bryan GiemzaPublisher: LSU Press
ISBN: 0807150924
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 491
Book Description
In this comprehensive study, Bryan Giemza retrieves a missing chapter of Irish Catholic heritage by canvassing the literature of American Irish writers from the U.S. South. Beginning with the first Irish American novel, published in Winchester, Virginia, in 1817, Giemza investigates nineteenth-century writers contending with the turbulence of their time -- writers influenced by both American and Irish revolutions, dramatists and propagandists of the Civil War, and memoirists of the Lost Cause. Some familiar names arise in an Irish context, including Joel Chandler Harris and Kate (O'Flaherty) Chopin. Giemza then turns to the works of twentieth-century writers, such as Margaret Mitchell, John Kennedy Toole, and Pat Conroy. For each author, Giemza traces the impact of Catholicism on their ethnic identity and their work. Giemza draws on many never-before-seen documents, including the correspondence of Cormac McCarthy, interviews with members of the Irish community in Flannery O'Connor's native Savannah, Georgia, and Giemza's own correspondence with writers such as Valerie Sayers and Anne Rice. This lively history prompts a new understanding of how the Catholic Irish in the South helped invent a regional myth, an enduring literature, and a national image.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Life and Letters of M. P. O'connor: Written and Edited by His Daughter The biography of one, whose public career is closely identified with an exciting period in the history of a State; whose energies were dedicated to her service, and whose memory is associated with her redemption from the misrule, which succeeded the Civil War, is interesting and instructive. In addition to this, is the value of the first published collection of my father's orations and public speeches, which faithfully reflect the local and political interests of historical and most interesting years. Few struggles in the history of the State of South Carolina, will be recalled by more important events, than those which were compressed within the life of the subject of this memoir. He was known to the people of his State, as a leader in the movement of 1876; as one of the foremost figures in that desperate, but successful struggle of the State's civilization; as one bf its victorious exponents; and as an orator, whose eloquence won National recognition.

South Carolina Goes to War, 1860-1865
Author: Charles Edward CauthenPublisher: Univ of South Carolina Press
ISBN: 9781570035609
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
First published in 1950 and long sought by collectors and historians, South Carolina Goes to War, 1860-1865 stands as the only institutional and political history of the Palmetto State's secession from the Union, entry into the Confederacy, and management of the war effort. Notable for its attention to the precursors of war too often neglected in other studies, the volume devotes half of its chapters to events predating the firing on Fort Sumter and pays significant attention to the Executive Councils of 1861 and 1862.
