Description
In this 1900 novel, Glasgow examines the effects of the Civil War and Reconstruction on Southern life, focusing especially on race, class, and gender -- themes that would continue in her literature.  Nicholas Burr, the son of a poor white farmer, rises to the governorship of Virginia.  Yet his political success, tempered by disappointment in love, leads to a tragic outcome.
