Autorenporträt
Mary Johnston (1870-1936) was an American novelist and women's rights advocate, renowned for her detailed historical fiction and vivid storytelling. Born in Buchanan, Virginia, Johnston grew up amidst the post-Civil War era that heavily influenced her writing. 'The Long Roll' is one of her most celebrated works, meticulously chronicling the experiences of Confederate general Stonewall Jackson during the American Civil War. This book, along with its sequel 'Cease Firing,' demonstrates Johnston's meticulous research and her ability to bring historical figures to life with psychological depth and narrative flair. Johnston's writing is characterized by its rich historical context and often revolves around themes of honor, sacrifice, and the moral complexities of war. With a body of work that includes over 20 novels, Johnston was not only a prolific writer but also a progressive voice for her time, advocating for women's suffrage and equality. Her literary style combines romanticism with realism, allowing her to captivate readers with both emotional narratives and an authentic portrayal of historical events. Johnston's contribution to literature transcends mere storytelling; she provided cultural commentary and historical understanding through her evocative and educational prose.
