Produktbeschreibung

In "Without a Home," Edward Payson Roe poignantly explores the themes of social dislocation, poverty, and the quest for belonging in post-Civil War America. The narrative centers around a young individual navigating the treacherous waters of societal marginalization, reflecting Roe's signature blend of realism and sentimentality. The novel employs a rich, descriptive style while conveying profound moral lessons emblematic of the late 19th-century American literary context, capturing the struggles of the underprivileged as they confront both external adversity and internal conflict. Edward Payson Roe was an acclaimed author, minister, and societal commentator whose own experiences and observations of the socio-economic landscape of his time deeply informed his writing. Born in a modest family and witnessing the cultural shifts of post-war America, Roe's narrative often accentuates the importance of compassion and responsibility towards society'Äôs vulnerable. His personal advocacy for the welfare of the less fortunate serves as the moral backbone for "Without a Home," illustrating his commitment to illuminating the plight of the impoverished. This compelling novel is highly recommended for readers interested in social reform, American history, and insights into human resilience. Roe's poignant storytelling not only entertains but also urges empathy and action, making it an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of human experience in a rapidly changing world.

Autorenporträt

Edward Payson Roe was an American novelist, Presbyterian clergyman, gardener, and historian. Edward Payson Roe was born in the settlement of Moodna, which is now part of New Windsor, New York. He attended Williams College and the Auburn Theological Seminary. In 1862, he was appointed chaplain of the Second New York Cavalry, United States Volunteers, and in 1864, chaplain of Hampton Hospital in Virginia. From 1866 to 1874, he was pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Highland Falls, New York. In 1874, he moved to Cornwall-On-Hudson, where he focused on fiction writing and horticulture. During the American Civil War, he published weekly letters to the New York Evangelist and later lectured on the conflict and wrote for publications. He married Anna Paulina Sands in 1863 and had a number of children. Sarah married Olympic fencer Charles T. Tatham, while Pauline married landscape painter Henry Charles Lee. His writings were well-received in their day, particularly among middle-class readers in England and America, and were translated into other European languages. Their strong moral and theological aim helped to overcome America's Puritan prejudice toward works of fiction. One of his most common criticisms was that his writing resembled sermons.
