Stella Bankwell is going home for Christmas, leaving behind her quaint cottage on St. Simons Island and heading back to Turner's Corner, the farm where she happily grew up in the North Georgia mountains shadowed by the Appalachian Trail.

By author: John Wenke
Product Code: P729
ISBN: 9780881469929

Price: $35.00
AMERICAN PROTEUS seeks to explain what it means for Charles Brockden Brown (1771-1810) to have created out of his life-experiences and encompassing cultural milieu a novel kind of fiction for a new kind of country. As a work of biographical criticism, this study charts the emergence of Brown's authorial voice as it developed throughout an amorphous, multifaceted, and conflicted apprenticeship. This eleven-year period of literary experimentation established the foundation for his brief yet momentous career as a publishing novelist that lasted from 1798 through 1801.

Most of her entries come from her first years and reveal a ministry being shaped by experience and reflection. An introduction and conclusion sketch her life before and after India. It is a remarkable addition to mission, women's, and Baptist studies.
