CHESNUT, MARY [BOYKIN]. Mary Chesnut's Civil War.
New Haven Yale University Press 1981 0300024592 / 9780300024593 Hard Cover Very Good in Good dust jacket
Edited by C. Vann Woodward. 886 pages, plates, cloth, dj, very good. From the publisher: The incomparable Civil War diarist Mary Chesnut wrote that she had the luck 'always to stumble in on the real show.' Married to a high-ranking member of the Confederate government, she was ideally placed to watch and record the South's headlong plunge to ruin, and she left in her journals an unsurpassed account of the old regime's death throes, its moment of high drama in world history. C. Vann Woodward provides the first full and reliable edition of the journals, making use of surviving parts of four manuscript versions. He restores significant passages from the original diary of the 1860s, which was written in the heat of the moment and revealed much that the author suppressed in the version intended for publication. Greatly gifted in intellect, charm, and independence of mind, Mary Chesnut was also a born writer. In this edition, her journals can finally claim their place in American literature as well as American history.
