Buffy the vampire slayer: The gatekeeper trilogy by Shaw Ian
Popular media can spark the national consciousness in a way that captures people's attention, interests them in history, and inspires them to visit battlefields, museums, and historic sites. This lively collection of essays and feature stories celebrates the novels, popular histories, magazines, movies, television shows, photography, and songs that have enticed Americans to learn more about our most dramatic historical era.From Ulysses S. Grant's Memoirs to Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, from Roots to Ken Burns's The Civil War, from Dixie to Ashokan Farewell, and from Civil War photography to the Gettysburg Cyclorama, trendy and well-loved depictions of the Civil War are the subjects of twenty contributors who tell how they and the general public have been influenced by them. Sarah Kay Bierle examines the eternal appeal of Gone with the Wind and asks how it is that a protagonist who so opposed the war has become such a figurehead for it. H. R. Gordon talks with New York Times-bestselling novelist Jeff Shaara to discuss the power of storytelling. Paul Ashdown explores ColdMountain's value as a portrait of the war as national upheaval, and Kevin Pawlak traces a shift in cinema's depiction of slavery epitomized by 12 Years a Slave. Tony Horwitz revisits his iconic Confederates in the Attic twenty years later.
The contributors' fresh analysis articulates a shared passion for history's representation in the popular media. The variety of voices and topics in this collection coalesces into a fascinating discussion of some of the most popular texts in the genres. In keeping with the innovative nature of this series, web-exclusive material extends the conversation beyond the book.
