Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 214 p. illus. 19 cm. ; OCLC 1392002998 green cloth in pictorial green and beige dustjacket ; Longstreet's good-natured narrators paint a lively picture of the Georgia frontier-hilariously contrasting rural and village life and the clash of the vernacular and genteel cultures ; Augustus Baldwin Longstreet is often described as the first literary portraitist of Georgia's common man. Longstreet's Georgia Scenes, Characters, Incidents, Etc. in the First Half Century of the Republic (1835) was a groundbreaking work which drew the contemporary praise of Edgar Allan Poe for its penetrating understanding of Southern character. A circuit-riding lawyer in Augusta and Greensboro in the first quarter of the nineteenth century, Longstreet drew from his experiences to sketch Georgia Scenes' crossroads character types with their emerging dialects, manners, and moral conflicts. Fueled by Longstreet's acute ear for his characters' speech and his narrative pose of corrective laughter, the nineteen tales made for an immensely popular work that ran through eleven editions between 1835 and 1897. Initially published as individual sketches in various newspapers (including Longstreet's own Augusta-based States Rights Sentinel), Georgia Scenes opened up a literary gold seam. As sketches of comic reality for antebellum readers, the book inspired the talents of 19th-century humorists and local color writers whose ultimate expression arrived with Mark Twain. Later, in the twentieth century, the moral conflicts of Longstreet's crossroads stakeholders, town rowdies, and backwoods louts would be resurrected in the humid and often violent landscape drawn by 20th-century Southern writers like Faulkner and O'Connor. Longstreet never returned to the rowdy, comic writing of Georgia Scenes. Instead, he sold his newspaper and dedicated himself to educational and ministerial missions. He became a Methodist minister and served as president of four universities, including a newly founded Emory College from 1839 to 1848. He wrote numerous political pamphlets but only one other work of fiction, Master William Mitten, a dour moralising tale which critics have described as Longstreet's own reaction against the comic popularity of Georgia Scenes. During the Civil War he wrote articles supporting the Southern cause and served briefly as a chaplain of the Georgia militia. After the war he retired to Mississippi to live with his granddaughter and died there in 1870. ; Contents: Georgia Theatrics -- The Dance -- The Horse Swap -- The Character of a Native Georgian -- The Fight -- The Song -- The Turn Out -- The Charming Creature as a Wife -- The Gander Pulling -- The Ball -- The Mother and her Child -- The Debating Society -- The Militia Drill -- The Turf -- An Interesting Interview -- The Fox Hunt -- The Wax Works -- A Sage Conversation -- The Shooting Match ; Reprint of the Harper & Brothers, "Second edition" of 1847 ; FINE/FINE.
