  • W illiam L. A ndrews . Slavery and Class in the American South

    Open AccessFrank J ByrneARTICLEThe American Historical Review2021

    William L. Andrews has had a long and distinguished career as a scholar of nineteenth-century African American literature. His most recent work, Slavery and Class in the American South: A Generation of Slave Narrative Testimony, 1840–1865, builds on Andrews’s impressive contributions to the field. Based on a close analysis of sixty-one narratives written by fifty-two fugitive slaves published from 1840 to1865, Andrews’s book focuses specifically …

  • Obstinate Heroism

    Open AccessFrank J ByrneARTICLEJournal of American History2021

    In Obstinate Heroism Steven J. Ramold examines the complex, occasionally chaotic surrender of Confederate forces after the capitulation of the Army of Northern Virginia. Over eleven chapters, Ramold details how Joseph E. Johnston, Richard Taylor, Edmund Kirby Smith, and others chose to surrender in the weeks after Robert E. Lee's defeat and the collapse of the Confederate government in Richmond. While each commander confronted unique circumstance…

  • In the Wake of War

    Open AccessFrank J ByrneARTICLEJournal of American History2019Cited by: 4

    In the vast scholarship on the American Civil War, the literature on the Union's military occupation of the Southern states during and after the conflict is relatively slight. Important studies by Stephen V. Ash, Mark Grimsley, and others have made critical contributions to this topic, but many questions remain. This is why Andrew F. Lang's In the Wake of War is such a welcome addition to this historiography. Lang builds on the scholarship and ch…

  • The Business of Slavery and the Rise of American Capitalism, 1815-1860

    Open AccessFrank J ByrneARTICLECivil War Book Review2015

    Slavery as the Foundation of Modern American Capitalism Perhaps the most significant development in the historiography of early United States history over the past decade has been the outpouring of works on the history of capitalism. A significant, if not primary, focus of this welcome lit

  • Becoming Bourgeois

    Scott P Marler, Frank J ByrneARTICLEThe Journal of Southern History2008

    Becoming Bourgeois is the first study to focus on what historians have come to call the middling sort, the economic group falling between yeoman farmers and the planter class that dominated the antebellum South. At a time when Southerners rarely traveled far from their homes, these merchants annually ventured forth on buying junkets to northern cities. The southern merchant community promoted the kind of aggressive business practices that propone…

  • The Viking Age

    Frank J ByrneCHAPTERA new history of Ireland2005

    They are quite coldly matter-of-fact. The figures they give are not exaggerated, and so, when an act of particular atrocity is recorded, we may have some confidence in its historicity. Nothing in the contemporary Irish sources equals the ferocity of the Norse literary evidence, some of which, it is too often forgotten, was composed in the Viking period by pre-literate skalds. A healthy scepticism as to the absolute historicity of the Icelandic sa…

  • The Reconstruction of Southern Debtors

  • The Merchant in Antebellum Southern Literature and Society

    Frank J ByrneARTICLEAmerican Nineteenth Century History2005

    This article explores two related subjects in antebellum southern history. First, it examines the public image of the merchant class as depicted in antebellum southern literature, mainly novels and newspaper sketches. Influenced by but distinguished from conventions found in British and broader American literature, southern writers portrayed the merchant class as outsiders who threatened their unique society. Only the occasional newspaper editor,…
