But before Constance is able to leave the ship, she is abducted by the captain, a practice not uncommon in the day, and is forced to become a “tobacco bride” - a woman sold to a male colonist as a bride for 150 pounds of tobacco. ![]() England is in the beginning grip of the Civil War, and royalist sentiments are squelched with ferocious authority. In Deanne Gist’s debut novel, A Bride Most Begrudging, the reader is transported to 1643 and follows the path of Lady Constance Morrow who, in the beginning of the novel, is attempting to say farewell to an uncle who is to be deported for loyalties to the King. Settlers confronted adversity everywhere, often contending with new diseases, lack of medicine, hostile relations with the Native Americans, starvation, and isolation. However, the reality that most of the early colonists faced was far different from that romantic image. For most, the early times of this country evokes romantic images of quaint log cabins, tricorn hats, and patriotic idealism. ![]() ![]() ![]() "Don’t you think it’s funny how people say “lost” as if they were just misplaced?

The value of each of these pieces is not only what it reveals but what it does not reveal, enabling the reader to participate in the critical process by questioning, disagreeing, conjuring his or her own insights along the way. Each essay is limited by its premise, but that very limitation enables the critic to focus the reader's attention upon an aspect of this multifaceted novel. The purpose of this collection of sixteen essays on William Faulkner's multi-faceted novel is to provide the reader who has read or is about to read Absalom, Absalom! with as much of a multi-faceted perspective as possible.įaulkner created a novel so complex that every interpretation of his "little postage stamp of native soil" is as valid as a single postage stamp in a postal system. Essays include a close reading of the novel from the critical standpoint of feminist theory, an analysis of the novel's cultural and historical context and a discussion of the critical reception of Absalom, Absalom! ![]() ![]() Barrett announces his plans to run for mayor and expects Sheila’s support, but Sheila has her own plans to run for mayor.
