Produktbeschreibung
Set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing America in the late 19th century, Edward Payson Roe's "A Knight of the Nineteenth Century" presents a rich tapestry of social commentary woven with romance and adventure. The narrative follows the life of a principled young man, grappling with themes of honor, virtue, and the evolving morals of his time. Roe's prose marries sentimentality with realism, reflecting the romantic ideals of chivalry while critiquing contemporary society's complexities, particularly regarding social class and individual integrity. This novel encapsulates the Victorian preoccupation with ethical dilemmas and personal sacrifice, offering a poignant exploration of what it means to be noble in a modern world. Roe, a notable figure in American literature, was deeply influenced by the societal transformations of his era, including the Civil War and industrialization. As a soldier, author, and cleric, his diverse experiences enriched his writing, allowing him to delve into the psyche of a post-war society seeking redemption and purpose. His background in agriculture and sociology also informs the nuanced portrayal of his characters and their struggles, making his work resonate with authenticity. Readers seeking a blend of romantic adventure and moral introspection will find "A Knight of the Nineteenth Century" an enlightening journey. Roe's keen insight into the complexities of human experience suggests that nobility transcends time, urging contemporary readers to reflect on their own values in an ever-evolving world. This novel invites you to embrace its themes, making it a worthwhile addition to your literary repertoire.

Autorenporträt
Edward Payson Roe was an American novelist, Presbyterian clergyman, gardener, and historian. Edward Payson Roe was born in the settlement of Moodna, which is now part of New Windsor, New York. He attended Williams College and the Auburn Theological Seminary. In 1862, he was appointed chaplain of the Second New York Cavalry, United States Volunteers, and in 1864, chaplain of Hampton Hospital in Virginia. From 1866 to 1874, he was pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Highland Falls, New York. In 1874, he moved to Cornwall-On-Hudson, where he focused on fiction writing and horticulture. During the American Civil War, he published weekly letters to the New York Evangelist and later lectured on the conflict and wrote for publications. He married Anna Paulina Sands in 1863 and had a number of children. Sarah married Olympic fencer Charles T. Tatham, while Pauline married landscape painter Henry Charles Lee. His writings were well-received in their day, particularly among middle-class readers in England and America, and were translated into other European languages. Their strong moral and theological aim helped to overcome America's Puritan prejudice toward works of fiction. One of his most common criticisms was that his writing resembled sermons.
