Blood and Irony: Southern White Women's Narratives of the Civil War, 1861-1937
Editorial Reviews
Washington Times
"A very readable account of the Southern female writers who for decades after the Civil War entertained American readers."
Review
Gardner not only adds substantially to our understanding of the writers, the period, and the 'lost cause' creation, but also elucidates the process by which an historical imagination develops and changes over decades. (Peggy Whitman Prenshaw, Louisiana State University)
