Destruction and the American Civil War Megan Kate Nelson Paper, $24.95 $17.47 | 4251-1 “An important new contribution to nineteenth-century cultural history, environmental history, Civil War history, and American studies scholarship. Among the book’s many strengths are its interdisciplinary approach, showing a sophisticated understanding of fields ranging from visual culture to gender studies to the history of science; a truly impressive base of archival research; a very clear writing style; and a subtle suggestion of the topic’s present-day resonance and relevance.”—Aaron Sachs, author of The Humboldt Current: Nineteenth-Century Exploration and the Roots of American Environmentalism

Understanding the Civil War by investigating the characters and events at its margins WEIRDING THE WAR

Stories from the Civil War’s Ragged Edges Edited by Stephen Berry Paper, $24.95 $17.47 | 4127-9 “Saying something truly new about the American Civil War seems impossible, but here is a book that offers an explosion of new perspectives and insights, often surprising and sometimes disturbing. Read this book and you will never be able to imagine again whatever Civil War you imagined before.” —Edward L. Ayers, winner of the Bancroft Prize for In the Presence of Mine Enemies: The Civil War in the Heart of America, 1859-1863

A nation’s physical and psychological landscape forever changed WAR UPON THE LAND

Military Strategy and the Transformation of Southern Landscapes during the American Civil War Lisa M. Brady Paper, $24.95 $17.47 | 4249-8 “Clearly written, fascinating in its details, and convincing in its arguments, Brady’s book provides the first in-depth environmental analysis of Grant’s, Sheridan’s, and Sherman’s campaigns in the South. The Civil War will never seem quite the same again.”—J.R. McNeill, author of Mosquito Empires: Ecology and War in the Greater Caribbean, 1640-1914

Situating Confederate literature in a broader history of global nineteenth-century culture and ideas APPLES AND ASHES

Literature, Nationalism, and the Confederate States of America Coleman Hutchinson Paper, $24.95 $17.47 | 4244-3 “Forget the ‘house divided’ as the Civil War’s familiar hallmark, even in the making of Confederate culture. Hutchison wisely supplements resisting Northern paradigms in print with a strategic embrace of European literary conventions. As a result, Apples and Ashes will be of keen interest to Civil War historians intrigued by literature’s nation-building capacity, to literary critics impatient with the persistent gap between Melville and Twain, to transatlantic scholars newly roused by the war’s transnational repercussions, and to globalists caught up in New Southern Studies across multiple disciplines.” —Kathleen Diffley, editor of To Live and Die: Collected Stories of the Civil War, 1861-1876
