Synopsis

Birthright is a novel written by T. S. Stribling. The story is set in the American South during the early 20th century and follows the life of a young man named Peter Grimm. Peter is the son of a wealthy plantation owner who is determined to preserve his family's legacy and the traditions of the South. However, Peter has different ideas about the future and wants to break away from his family's expectations.The novel explores themes of race, class, and identity as Peter navigates his way through a changing society. He falls in love with a young woman named Lucy, who comes from a poor family, and their relationship challenges the social norms of the time. Peter also becomes involved in the civil rights movement and fights against the injustices faced by African Americans in the South.As Peter struggles to find his place in the world, he must confront his own prejudices and biases, and learn to accept others for who they are. Birthright is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that offers a glimpse into the complex social and political landscape of the American South during a time of great change.On the heels of this came the news that Peter Siner meant to take advantage of Tump's arrest and marry Cissie Dildine. Old Parson Ranson was responsible for the spread of this last rumor. He had fumbled badly in his effort to hold Peter's secret. Not once, but many times, always guarded by a pledge of secrecy, had he revealed the approaching wedding. When pressed for a date, the old negro said he was ""not at lib'ty to tell.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Joseph Hocking (7 November 1860 – 4 March 1937) was a Cornish novelist and United Methodist Free Church minister. He was born at St Stephen-in-Brannel, Cornwall, to James Hocking, part owner of a tin mine, and his wife Elizabeth. In 1884, he was ordained as a minister. Working in different parts of England over the next few years, he wrote his first novel, Harry Penhale - The Trial of his Faith, while in London in 1887. He regarded fiction as a highly effective medium for conveying his Christian message to the public, and combined his writing with his church duties, until ill health forced him to resign from the ministry in 1909. His last pastoral charge was the large and important United Free Church at Woodford Essex, which he was instrumental in having rebuilt by the advanced arts and crafts architect, Charles Harrison Townsend. On his recovery, he found himself a much sought-after preacher across Britain, and he travelled extensively in the Middle East. He continued to write, and over the course of his career, he was the author of nearly 100 books. Although largely forgotten now, he was tremendously popular in his day. He died in St Ives, Cornwall, and was survived by his wife, Annie, who he had married in 1887, and four daughters, three of whom become published novelists in their own right (Anne Hocking, Elizabeth Nisot and Joan Shill). A son, Cuthert, was killed in World War I. Through his mother he was related to the biblical scholar John Kitto. His brother was Silas Hocking (1850–1935), also a novelist and Methodist minister, and his sister, Salome (1859–1927), was also a novelist. Hocking features as one of the main characters in the 2009 play Surfing Tommies by Cornish playwright, Alan M. Kent. Joseph Hocking's ashes were buried in the churchyard of St Stephen-in-Brannel.
