"Mary Johnston (November 21, 1870 - May 9, 1936) was an American novelist and women's rights advocate. The daughter of an American Civil War soldier who became a successful lawyer, Mary Johnston was born in the small town of Buchanan, Virginia. A small and frail girl, she was educated at home by family and tutors. She grew up with a love of books and was financially independent enough to devote herself to writing. Johnston wrote historical books and novels that often combined romance with history. Her first book Prisoners of Hope (1898) dealt with colonial times in Virginia as did her second novel To Have and to Hold (1900) and 1904's Sir Mortimer. The Goddess of Reason (1907) uses the theme of the French Revolution and in Lewis Rand (1908), the author portrayed political life at the dawn of the 19th century. The New York Times declared of Lewis Rand: "POWERFUL NOVEL BY MARY JOHNSTON; In Grim "Lewis Rand" Virginia Authoress Touches the Highest Point of Her Power. Johnston has produced one of the strongest works of fiction that has seen the light of day in America. It is sombre and grim, the gloom is furnished by an outsider, the son of a tobacco roller whom a great patron - Thomas Jefferson, no less- - rescued from the slavery and drudgery of the fields. His fault was an overleaping ambition, or rather his incapacity to restrain the course of that ambition within the bounds of the law. Don't forget to check out other great deals in our eBay Store!!
