Book Synopsis Renaissance in Charleston by : James M. Hutchisson
Download or read book Renaissance in Charleston written by James M. Hutchisson and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The essays tell how these and other individuals faced the tensions and contradictions of their time and place. While some traced their lineage back to the city's first families, others were relative newcomers. Some broke new ground racially and sexually as well as artistically; others perpetuated the myths of the Old South. Some were censured at home but praised in New York, London, and Paris. The essays also underscore the significance and growth of such cultural institutions as the Poetry Society of South Carolina, the Charleston Museum, and the Gibbes Art Gallery."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Synopsis Quaint and Historic Forts of North America by : John Martin Hammond
Download or read book Quaint and Historic Forts of North America written by John Martin Hammond and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2019-12-18 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Quaint and Historic Forts of North America" is a historical novel looking at the origins of various forts built in the United States. The forts are a reminder of the military acumen of the inhabitants, spanning across several centuries. Many of them are the works of the diverse Europeans who migrated to the American colonies, bringing with them their architectural influences. As the author explains, "We behold the Indian in possession though we do not know who was his predecessor in holding the land... There come the Spanish with their relentless persecutions of the natives. There come the English, French, Dutch, and Swedish. And the claims of each clash, to at length give way—despite the military acumen of the French—to the steady, home-building genius of the English."

Book Synopsis A Golden Haze of Memory by : Stephanie E. Yuhl
Download or read book A Golden Haze of Memory written by Stephanie E. Yuhl and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2006-03-08 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charleston, South Carolina, today enjoys a reputation as a destination city for cultural and heritage tourism. In A Golden Haze of Memory, Stephanie E. Yuhl looks back to the crucial period between 1920 and 1940, when local leaders developed Charleston's trademark image as "America's Most Historic City." Eager to assert the national value of their regional cultural traditions and to situate Charleston as a bulwark against the chaos of modern America, these descendants of old-line families downplayed Confederate associations and emphasized the city's colonial and early national prominence. They created a vibrant network of individual artists, literary figures, and organizations--such as the all-white Society for the Preservation of Negro Spirituals--that nurtured architectural preservation, art, literature, and tourism while appropriating African American folk culture. In the process, they translated their selective and idiosyncratic personal, familial, and class memories into a collective identity for the city. The Charleston this group built, Yuhl argues, presented a sanitized yet highly marketable version of the American past. Their efforts invited attention and praise from outsiders while protecting social hierarchies and preserving the political and economic power of whites. Through the example of this colorful southern city, Yuhl posits a larger critique about the use of heritage and demonstrates how something as intangible as the recalled past can be transformed into real political, economic, and social power.
