DUPONT DE NEMOURS, PIERRE SAMUEL; FOX-GENOVESE, ELIZABETH (INTRODUCTION).

The Autobiography Of Du Pont De Nemours.

Scholarly Resources, Wilmington: 1984. Hardcover with dustjacket. Good condition. In the autumn of 1792, hiding in the French countryside as the Revolution turned bloody, Pierre Samuel du Pont de Nemours began to write his memoirs. In this text, now translated and published in full for the first time, we learn the personal history and background of a man whose subsequent life and achievements are public record. Includes an Index. Translated into English from the French by Elizabeth Fox-Genovese. Elizabeth Fox-Genovese provides us with a lucid and felicitous translation of one of the great eighteenth-century biographies. Her invaluable introduction explains why Du Pont is significant and places him within a broad cultural and intellectual setting. This volume, indispensable reading for students of modern French history and the history of economic thought, also makes accessible a work of considerable literary merit. - David Brian Davis, Sterling Professor of History, Yale University

The Mind Of The Master Class: History And Faith In The Southern Slaveholders' Worldview.

Cambridge University Press, Cambridge: 2005. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Tells of America's greatest historical tragedy. It presents the slaveholders as men and women, a great many of whom were intelligent, honorable, and pious. It asks how people who were admirable in so many ways could have presided over a social system that proved itself an enormity and inflicted horrors on their slaves. The South had formidable proslavery intellectuals who participated fully in transatlantic debates and boldly challenged an ascendant capitalist ('free-labor') society. Blending classical and Christian traditions, they forged a moral and political philosophy designed to sustain conservative principles in history, political economy, social theory, and theology, while translating them into political action. Even those who judge their way of life most harshly have much to learn from their probing moral and political reflections on their times - and ours - beginning with the virtues and failings of their own society and culture. The contents of the book are as follows: Part I. Cradled in the Storms of Revolution: 1. 'That Terrible Tragedy'; 2. The age of revolution through slaveholding eyes; 3. 'The Purest Sons of Freedom'; Entr'Acte: the bonds of slavery; Part II. The Inescapable Past: 4. History as moral and political instruction; 5. The slaveholders' quest for a history of the common people; 6. World history and the politics of slavery; 7. History as the story of freedom; Part III. Ancient Legacies, Medieval Sensibility, Modern Men: 8. In the shadow of antiquity; 9. Coming to terms with the Middle Ages; 10. The chivalry; 11. Chivalric slave masters; 12. Chivalric politics: Southern ladies take their stand; Part IV. A Christian People Defend the Faith: 13. A Christian people; 14. Unity and diversity among the faithful; 15. War over the Good Book; 16. Slavery: proceeding from the Lord; 17. The Holy Spirit in the word of God; 18. Jerusalem and Athens - against Paris; 19. Serpent in the garden: liberal theology in the South; 20. Theopolitics: golden rule, higher law, and slavery; Coda: St. John of Pottawatamie; Part V. At the Rubicon: 21. Between individualism and corporatism: from the reformation to the war for Southern Independence; 22. Past and future Caesars; Epilogue: King Solomon's dilemma. Includes an Index. Elizabeth Fox-Genovese and Eugene D. Genovese have given us a masterpiece of the historian's art. Every serious student of the American South and of American intellectual life must read it - now and for many years to come - Times Literary Supplement 'The Genoveses give us a learned, lucid, even luminous portrait of a worldview bought to ruin by the freeing of those on whose forced labour it rested.'

Within The Plantation Household: Black And White Women Of The Old South.

The University of North Carolina Press, Chapel Hill & London: 1988. Softcover. Good condition. Documenting the difficult class relations between women slaveholders and slave women, this study shows how class and race as well as gender shaped women's experiences and determined their identities. Drawing upon massive research in diaries, letters, memoirs, and oral histories, the author argues that the lives of antebellum southern women, enslaved and free, differed fundamentally from those of northern women and that it is not possible to understand antebellum southern women by applying models derived from New England sources. Elizabeth Fox-Genovese (1941-2007) was Eleonore Raoul Professor of the Humanities and professor of history at Emory University. Her other books include Feminism Without Illusions: A Critique of Individualism and Fruits of Merchant Capital: Slavery and Bourgeois Property in the Rise and Expansion of Capitalism. Asks us to put aside simple generalizations and explore the complicated world that masters and slaves built together on their terms, not ours. . . . Fox-Genovese provides a rich analysis . . . without losing her critical eye or her amazing capacity for empathy. Like no other historian before or since. - Civil War Times [A] well-written and thoroughly researched social history. - New Yorker Elizabeth Fox-Genovese undertakes the enormous tasks of telling the life stories of the last generation of black and white women of the Old South, and of analyzing the meanings of these connected stories as a way of illuminating both Southern and women's history--tasks at which she succeeds brilliantly. - Mechal Sobel, New York Times Book Review We have to thank a daughter of the Deep North for digging up and presenting more neglected testimony of plantation mistresses and their servants than has ever before been assembled so fully or organized and analyzed so cogently and provocatively. - C.

With a graceful and intelligent narrative, the author shows how and why Southern women did not--indeed could not--'participate in a sisterhood.' A vivid, extensive chonicle of Southern women's daily existence . . . is documented by passages from letters, diaries and oral histories--selectively and, consequently, effectively. - Publisher's Weekly An ambitious book that succeeds as history and as historiography.
