Produktbeschreibung
In Mary Johnston's riveting historical novel, "Silver Cross," readers are transported to the tumultuous times of the early 18th century, capturing the essence of a society in transition. The narrative weaves together themes of love, sacrifice, and moral integrity through the intricate lives of its characters, set against a backdrop of political upheaval and the quest for freedom. Johnston's elegant prose, marked by rich diction and vivid imagery, engages the reader in a profound exploration of human resilience within the context of societal constraints and aspirations. Mary Johnston, an influential author of the early 20th century, was deeply motivated by her advocacy for women's rights and social reform. Her own experiences and background as a woman in a patriarchal society likely inspired her to craft complex female protagonists who struggle for their dignity and place in a changing world. Johnston's dedication to historical accuracy and her deep understanding of the human condition allow her to create a poignant narrative that resonates with contemporary issues. "Silver Cross" is a compelling read that not only entertains but also provokes critical thought about the societal norms of both the past and present. I highly recommend this book to readers who appreciate rich historical narratives intertwined with significant social commentary.

Autorenporträt
Mary Johnston (1870-1936) was a prominent American novelist and women's rights advocate of the early 20th century. Born in Buchanan, Virginia, she was the daughter of an American Civil War veteran, and her genteel Southern upbringing infused her works with a distinct regionalism. Johnston wrote historical romances and novels that often centered on colonial and revolutionary themes, addressing issues of honor, loyalty, and societal norms. 'Silver Cross' is one such work, diving into the complexities of human behaviors and societal expectations within a carefully framed historical context. Although not as widely known today, her novels, such as 'To Have and to Hold' (1900) and 'Audrey' (1902), were bestsellers in their time, bringing her both commercial success and critical acclaim. Her writing is characterized by a vivid narrative style, with a particular focus on character development and historical accuracy. Johnston's activism for women's suffrage and her role in the early feminist movement also echoed in her novels, where she often portrayed strong female characters challenging the confines of their times. Her literary contributions have earned her a respected place in American literature, with her works continuing to be studied for their depiction of early American life and their progressive portrayal of women.
