A view of a nation divided The great war of politics, ideology and culture between the Northern and Southern American states was certainly, for its principal protagonists, one of opposed causes, but in all wars there are those who go to war for other reasons-not least for adventure. That is never more true than of those who go to war for nations not their own. So it was for the English writer George Lawrence who set out to join the forces of the Confederacy-principally to provide material for his writings-though it is clear his sympathies naturally lay with the Southern cause. It is almost impossible to experience 'adventure' without misadventure and that certainly came to Lawrence-as is the way of such things-in ways he neither expected or wished for. Lawrence elected to journey into the South from the North and so his troubles and Civil War experiences began. However, he demonstrably gathered the material for his book-for here it is. This is an interesting 'outsiders' view of the Civil War for every student of the period.

Autorenporträt
George A. Lawrence's timeless classic, 'Guy Livingstone', published in the mid-19th century, stands as a compelling exploration of honor, courage, and the complexities of Victorian society. Set against the backdrop of a rigid class structure and the romanticized ideals of chivalry, Lawrence weaves a gripping narrative centered around the enigmatic protagonist, Guy Livingstone. Through vivid prose and intricate character development, Lawrence delves into the psyche of a man torn between his sense of duty and his inner turmoil. As readers journey alongside Livingstone through trials of love, loyalty, and moral conflict, they are immersed in a world where honor is both a noble pursuit and a burden to bear. With its exploration of themes still relevant today, such as masculinity, integrity, and the pursuit of one's moral compass, 'Guy Livingstone' remains a masterpiece of Victorian literature, captivating audiences with its timeless themes and memorable characters.
