Legacies
by Janet DaileyDebutante Diane Parmalee was a U.S. Army officer's daughter; Lije Stuart was the handsome Harvard educated son of the part-Cherokee Stuart clan. Nothing, not even their different worlds, seemed able to stop their love--except a tragic legacy. The wealthy Stuart family burned with the memory of the government's forced march of the Cherokee on the Trail of Tears. Now, as the nation exploded in civil war, Lije's family split in a violent feud, driving Lije to do the one thing Diane could not forgive-- fight for the South. At his father's side, Lije was riding away on a journey of blood and sorrow, perhaps forever. The lovers' only hope was another legacy: a passion strong enough to reunite them before betrayal and death claimed their hearts...
Legacies
by Janet DaileyThe love between a Union officer&’s daughter and a Cherokee man is threatened by the Civil War in this sweeping romance by a New York Times–bestselling author. A &“passionate tale of Native American history, family feuds, and romance,&” this saga by a multimillion-selling author begins in Springfield, Massachusetts, in May 1860 (Booklist). The Civil War looms as nineteen-year-old Diane Parmelee, spirited daughter of a Union officer, reunites with her former childhood sweetheart, the broodingly handsome Cherokee Lije Stuart. Passions flare once again between the blond beauty and the accomplished Harvard University law student. But as two hearts come together, the promise of marriage is short-lived. Despite her undying love, Diane can&’t bring herself to accept Lije&’s conditions for their future. Lije expects them to build a life where his proud allegiance lie: on the plantations of his Cherokee family, and in turn, the Confederacy. But for Lije and Diane, it&’s just the beginning of a conflict that will tear families apart and reopen the wounds of violent rivalries born out of the historic Trail of Tears—and will end only when divided loyalties and revenge threaten to shatter the meaning of heritage and honor. Through it all, only true love can hope to survive. Legacies was previously published as American Destiny.
Legacies of Romanticism: Literature, Culture, Aesthetics (Routledge Studies in Romanticism)
by Carmen Casaliggi Paul March-RussellThis book visits the Romantic legacy that was central to the development of literature and culture from the 1830s onward. Although critical accounts have examined aspects of this long history of indebtedness, this is the first study to survey both Nineteenth and Twentieth century culture. The authors consider the changing notion of Romanticism, looking at the diversity of its writers, the applicability of the term, and the ways in which Romanticism has been reconstituted. The chapters cover relevant historical periods and literary trends, including the Romantic Gothic, the Victorian era, and Modernism as part of a dialectical response to the Romantic legacy. Contributors also examine how Romanticism has been reconstituted within postmodern and postcolonial literature as both a reassessment of the Modernist critique and of the imperial contexts that have throughout this time-frame underpinned the Romantic legacy, bringing into focus the contemporaneity of Romanticism and its political legacy. This collection reveals the diversity and continuing relevance of the genre in new and exciting ways, offering insights into writers such as Browning, Ruskin, Pater, Wilde, Lewis, MacNeice, and Auster.
