Description

A fresh light falls on an enduring story. The Deliverance invites you into the fields and fortunes of Virginia, where love and duty collide under a late-19th-century sun. This complete edition restores Ellen Glasgow's acclaimed novel as a vivid blend of historical romance and keen social observation. It follows lives braided by tobacco wealth and toil, where romance flourishes amid postbellum South complexities and class tensions. The book moves with a quiet grandeur, offering a panoramic sense of place-the Virginia tobacco country-while exploring how ambition, loyalty, and desire shape the fate of families and communities. It is a work of American regional fiction that speaks to today's readers as clearly as it did to readers of Glasgow's era, presenting a richly illustrated historical milieu and a story that rewards both casual reading and study. The Deliverance holds notable literary and historical significance as a southern literary classic that documents a pivotal moment in Southern life with moral nuance and human warmth. It appeals to book clubs and classroom readers alike, inviting discussion about social change, gender roles, and the rhythms of rural life. It's more than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. This complete edition is designed for lovers of historical romance, American regional fiction, and enduring Southern storytelling.
