Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Two Gentlemen of Virginia: A Novel of the Old Regime in the Old Dominion In this novel I have endeavored to fulfil one of the chief functions of history in the modern conception of historical writing. Incidentally to the telling of a love story, I have sought to present a faithful picture of the life of the time and region of which I have written; to set forth its manners, habits and conditions with accuracy and in detail; to portray the character of the people, to show what were their ideals and their standards, and to present them as they were to readers of a later and far less picturesque time. In aid of this purpose I have mentioned many details of custom and condition which may seem trivial in themselves, but which are imperatively necessary to the verisimilitude of the picture. It is proper to add that I have written solely of things that I personally remember. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
