Of the half-dozen full-length histories of the battle of Gettysburg written over the last century, none dives down so closely to the experience of the individual soldier, or looks so closely at the sway of politics over military decisions, or places the battle so firmly in the context of nineteenth-century military practice. From the acclaimed Civil War historian, a brilliant new history-the most intimate and richly readable account we have had-of the climactic three-day battle of Gettysburg (July 1–3, 1863), which draws the reader into the heat, smoke, and grime of Gettysburg alongside the ordinary soldier, and depicts the combination of personalities and circumstances that produced the greatest battle of the Civil War, and one of the greatest in human history. ![]() ![]() “One of finest novels and one of her most satisfying forays into the arena of speculative fiction yet.” - The New York TimesĮdwin St. ![]() The award-winning, best-selling author of Station Eleven and The Glass Hotel returns with a novel of art, time, love, and plague that takes the reader from Vancouver Island in 1912 to a dark colony on the moon five hundred years later, unfurling a story of humanity across centuries and space.Lewis George Orwell Mary Pope Osborne LeUyen Pham Dav Pilkey Roger Priddy Rick Riordan J.

For one thing, it helped separate his version from previous adaptations. But Austen wrote the initial draft, then titled First Impressions, around 1797-and that’s the year in which Wright chose to set his film. Since Pride and Prejudice was published in 1813, following a substantial revision, it’s often considered a quintessential novel of the Regency period (which technically lasted from 1811 to 1820). Pride & Prejudice purposely isn’t set during the Regency period. Instead, he studied other Austen film adaptations, including Sense and Sensibility (1995), Emma (1996), and Mansfield Park (1999), as well as some other period dramas. Once he accepted the job, Wright still refrained from watching the BBC miniseries, just so that he wouldn’t be too influenced by it. "I took the script to the pub and by about page 60, I was weeping into my pint of lager," Wright told The Harvard Crimson. He also didn’t think he’d care much for the story. ![]() In fact, the only adaptation he’d watched was the 1940 movie starring Laurence Olivier and Greer Garson.
