Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Cousin Franck's Household: Or Scenes In The Old Dominion is a novel written by Pocahontas, originally published in 1852. The story is set in Virginia during the early 19th century and revolves around the lives of the Randolph family, particularly the young and beautiful Mary Randolph. Mary lives with her cousin Franck and his family in a grand plantation house, surrounded by the lush beauty of the Virginia countryside. The novel explores the complexities of life in the Old South, including the relationships between masters and slaves, the social hierarchy, and the struggles of women in a patriarchal society. As the story unfolds, Mary finds herself torn between her love for her cousin Franck and her attraction to a charming young lawyer named Arthur. The novel also delves into the lives of the other members of the Randolph family, including Franck's wife and children, as well as their slaves and other members of the community. Cousin Franck's Household is a vivid portrayal of life in the antebellum South, with its lush descriptions of the natural beauty of Virginia and its exploration of the complex social and political issues of the time. It is a compelling read for anyone interested in the history of the American South, as well as those who enjoy classic works of fiction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
