By William Gilmore Simms

Book Overview

Beauchampe V1 is a novel written by William Gilmore Simms. The book follows the story of a young man named Edward Beauchampe who is a member of a wealthy family in South Carolina during the early 19th century. Edward is a passionate and idealistic young man who dreams of a better future for himself and his family. However, his idealism is put to the test when he falls in love with a young woman from a lower class. The novel explores themes of class, race, and love in a time of great social and political change. Simms' writing is known for its vivid descriptions of Southern life and its complex characters. This book is the first volume in a two-part series that continues to follow Edward's journey.Meanwhile, the work of mischief was in full progress. Every body knows the degree of familiarity which exists among all classes in a country village, particularly when the parties are brought together under the social and stimulating influences of religion. It was natural that the pastor, long known and well beloved, should be surrounded by his flock as he descended from the pulpit. The old ladies always have a saving interest in his presence, and they pave the way for the young ones.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
