Produktinformationen zu „The Sheriffs Bluff (ePub)“
In 'The Sheriff's Bluff,' Thomas Nelson Page constructs an intricate narrative rooted deeply in the socio-cultural fabric of the American South during the early 20th century. His storytelling, marked by its evocative prose and rich character development, portrays the complexities of honor and social duty through the lens of the titular sheriff's moral conundrums. Page's literary style is reflective of the regionalist literature of the era, which sought to provide detailed depictions of local color and mores. The book graces the reader with the eloquence of its antebellum echoes and the psychological acumen with which it dissects its invariably human characters against the backdrop of a changing society.
Thomas Nelson Page, a scion of the old South with deep familial roots in Virginia's aristocracy, wove together stories that reflected both a nostalgic yearning for a bygone era and a keen observation of the New South's evolution. His personal experiences and observations of the monumental shifts in Southern society post-Civil War clearly informed his narrative sensibilities and thematic explorations. Page's work often danced on the delicate line between romanticizing the past and critiquing the growing pains of modernity, as mirrored in this nuanced piece.
'The Sheriff's Bluff' is highly recommended for readers seeking to understand the Southern psyche through a historical and literary lens. Page's ability to encapsulate the spirit of a time and place, while delivering a universal message about human integrity, makes this work a valuable addition to the annals of American literature. Scholars and enthusiasts of Southern traditions and history will particularly appreciate Page's meticulous attention to detail and his profound understanding of the human condition as sculpted by heritage and transforming societal norms.

Autoren-Porträt von Thomas Nelson Page
Thomas Nelson Page (1853-1922) was an American writer and lawyer who epitomized the genre of Southern American literature in the post-Civil War era. Born in Hanover County, Virginia, Page drew from his experiences of the antebellum South and Reconstruction to color his writings with the nostalgia of the fallen Confederacy and the complexities of the new social order. His works often tackled the themes of racial relations and Southern honor, reflecting the cultural sentiments of the Lost Cause Movement to which he subscribed. One of his numerous works, 'The Sheriff's Bluff,' showcases his literary artistry. Though less acknowledged than some of his other novels like 'In Ole Virginia' or 'Red Rock,' the narrative maintains his stylistic preoccupation with moral complexities and regional identity. A graduate of the University of Virginia, where he studied law, Page's literary career served as a vessel for his romanticized vision of the Old South. Throughout his life, he maintained a connection to his Virginian roots, which informed both his legal career and his literary voice. As a diplomat, serving as the U.S. ambassador to Italy, he furthered his legacy, embodying the genteel manners and principles he portrayed in his writing. Page's works remain critical to understanding the cultural underpinnings of Southern literature during a transformative period in American history.
