Meet Robert E Lee

Meet ROBERT E. LEE is the story of a great American leader forced to make a terrible decision. Robert E. Lee the Virginian, son of a Revolutionary hero, served in the U.S. Army as America moved towards Civil War. Loving his country, he hated to see the Union split, but he could not fight against the South. His agonizing decision, his brilliant military leadership, and the fine example he set when the battle was done, are all recounted in this thoroughly researched and richly illustrated book.

Writer Directory: A Book of Encounters offers a species of hybrid text, part miniature literary biographies, part figuration and metaphor. Each portrait is thereby not reluctant to assume its own kind of licence. Not least in calling upon the author's working part in the equation. Starting from the fantasy of "meeting" Herman Melville, there follow twenty or so selective encounters with writers of a more subsequent time, our own time. Angles, overlaps, tributes.

Excerpt from Life and Remains of Robert Lee, Vol. 1 of 2 I cannot but feel that I am undertaking what some may think a work of supererogation, and others an impertinence, in thus interposing, as if with the intention of introducing the following memoir, or the subject of it, to the reader. Such, however, is not my intention; but simply to furnish to the English public, necessarily unacquainted with many of the details, what little preliminary explanation it may be within my power to give. Dr. Lee's life belongs to a singular crisis in Scottish Church history, a crisis which we cannot yet fairly judge, since it still exists, but which has already moved a persistent and obstinate nation to rec...

Robert E. Lee: A Biography

"The best and most balanced of the Lee biographies."—New York Review of Books The life of Robert E. Lee is a story not of defeat but of triumph—triumph in clearing his family name, triumph in marrying properly, triumph over the mighty Mississippi in his work as an engineer, and triumph over all other military men to become the towering figure who commanded the Confederate army in the American Civil War. But late in life Lee confessed that he "was always wanting something." In this probing and personal biography, Emory Thomas reveals more than the man himself did. Robert E. Lee has been, and continues to be, a symbol and hero in the American story. But in life, Thomas writes, Lee was both more and less than his legend. Here is the man behind the legend.

Reading the Man

“Pryor’s biography helps part with a lot of stupid out there about Lee – chiefly, that he was, somehow, ‘anti-slavery.’” – Ta-Nehisi Coates, theatlantic.com An “unorthodox, critical, and engaging biography” (Boston Globe) – Winner of The Lincoln Prize Robert E. Lee is remembered by history as a tragic figure, stoic and brave but distant and enigmatic. Using dozens of previously unpublished letters as departure points, Pryor produces a stunning personal account of Lee's military ability, shedding new light on every aspect of the complex and contradictory general's life story. Explained for the first time in the context of the young United States's tumultuous societal developments, Lee's actions reveal a man forced to play a leading role in the formation of the nation at the cost of his private happiness.

WRITTEN EYE: VISUALS/VERSE by A. Robert Lee offers poems whose starting point or source of inspiration is a work of visual art. Through the imaginative act of narrating and reflecting on the "action" of a painting or sculpture, Lee seeks both to engage and amplify their meaning. Accessible and insightful, these delightful poems express the poet's playful attention to a wide international range of paintings, photography, films, sculptures and architecture, and the impact literary and visual arts can have on society. For those interested in the re-thinking of ekphrastic poetry's motives and purposes, and the interplay between poetry and visual art, WRITTEN EYE: VISUALS/VERSE is essential reading.
