As stated in the Introduction, the book is not a military history of the Civil War. Rather, LINES OF CONTENTION explores popular views of the war, and incidents surrounding the war as these are presented by the editorial cartoons of the day. So, the book is the history of attitudes, incidents, as reflected through the eyes of the contemporary commentators. Excellent cartoons put together from the Harper's Weekly, Vanity Fair, Punch, and many others. Bibliography and index are helpful and enhance the book making it an important resource in many projects. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
The political turmoil of the Civil War Era has been analyzed many times, but one area of this period's history is often overlooked: a large body of humorous, clever, and scathing editorial cartoons from publications such as Harper's Weekly, Vanity Fair, Punch, and Leslie's Illustrated. In Lines of Contention, the best of these cartoons has finally been collected into one place to illuminate the social, political, and cultural climate of Civil War—Era America. The cartoons have been pulled from both sides of the fence and provide insight into the incidents and opinions surrounding the war as well as the mind-sets and actions of all the major figures. Lines of Contention presents a unique history of the Civil War and its participants. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
