Sinopse

In 'The Diary of John Evelyn (Vol. 1 & 2)', readers are invited into the richly detailed world of a 17th-century English polymath, revealing his reflections on art, science, politics, and the sweeping changes of the Restoration period. Evelyn's literary style is marked by a meticulous attention to detail and a keen observational prowess, capturing the zeitgeist of his time with eloquence. His diary entries serve as a valuable historical document, chronicling everything from the Great Plague to the Great Fire of London, while also engaging with themes of nature and urban life through a lens of personal and societal upheaval, thus situating the work within the broader context of Restoration literature and history. John Evelyn (1620-1706), an accomplished writer, gardener, and member of the Royal Society, was deeply influenced by his wide-ranging interests and extensive travels across Europe. His education at Oxford and his experiences of the political turbulence of his age fostered a profound desire to document and reflect on the world around him, making his diaries a vital account of both personal and public life. Evelyn's intellectual engagements and friendships with contemporary figures such as John Locke and Samuel Pepys further shaped his perspectives. As a testament to the human experience during a transformative era, this comprehensive collection is essential for anyone interested in the intersection of personal narrative and historical events. Evelyn's keen insights make the work not just a personal diary but a profound commentary on the human condition, making it a must-read for those fascinated by history, literature, and the complex web of human thought.

    Despite its apparent isolation, the Southeast provided a vital connecting link between the Black self-emancipation that occurred during the American Revolution and the growth of the Underground Railroad. From the beginning of the revolutionary war to the eve of the First Seminole War in 1817, several thousand Africans and African Americans in Georgia and South Carolina crossed the borders and boundaries that separated the Lowcountry from the British and Spanish in coastal Florida and from the Seminole and Creek people in the vast interior of the Southeast. Even in times of peace, there remained a steady flow of individuals moving south and southwest. 
     
     
     
    A Southern Underground Railroad constitutes a powerful counter-narrative in American history, a tale of how enslaved men and women found freedom and human dignity not in Jefferson's "Empire of Liberty" but outside the expanding boundaries of the United States. It is a reminder of the strength of Black resistance in the post-revolutionary South and the ability of this community to influence the balance of power in a contested region. Pressly's research shows that their movement across borders was an integral part of the struggle for dominance in the Southeast not only among the Great Powers but also among the many different racial, ethnic, and religious groups that inhabited the region and contended for control.
