Stacey Jean KleinPublication Details
BookUniversity of South Carolina Press2007Links

Margaret Junkin Preston (1820-1897) was once deemed by the Washington Post to be “one of the really famous American authors of the day.” The death of Stonewall Jackson and of her stepson, her husband’s dangerous military service, and the invasion of her home by Union troops all solidified for Preston the high personal cost of war and compounded her belief in the Confederate cause as just. After the war Preston saw in her writings an opportunity to validate the lost cause ethos of the former Confederacy and to propose expanded roles for women in reshaping Southern society.
