Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Sara Agnes Rice Pryor's The Birth of the Nation is a commemorative history of early Virginia and the Jamestown settlement, presenting English colonization as the formative drama of American origins. Written in polished, genteel prose, the book blends archival anecdote, patriotic reflection, biography, and narrative history. Its style belongs to the Colonial Revival moment of the early twentieth century, when writers sought in seventeenth-century Virginia a usable national past; it is wholly distinct from the later and notorious cinematic use of the same title. Pryor, a Virginia-born author and memoirist, brought to the subject both regional intimacy and historical self-consciousness. As the wife of Confederate general and later New York jurist Roger A. Pryor, she had lived through war, displacement, and reinvention, experiences that sharpened her interest in origins, lineage, and public memory. Her writings often attempt to reconcile Southern identity with broader American history, and this book reflects that impulse. Readers interested in Jamestown, historical memory, women historians, or the literary construction of national beginnings will find this volume rewarding. It is best read not only for its facts, but for how it reveals an era's understanding of America's founding myths. 124 pp. Englisch.
