which he later exchanged for
q role at the front.
Ules Monckton, who 1lared
UP briefly as q hero, after
capturing "the forts" (see
Sumter) and was a general
at first Manassas. Is a fascist
type. and. under q plausible
surface. a psychopath. He
glories in slavery. wants to
lay waste the great cities Of
the North and build q South
ern empire that includes
Mexico and Central America.
We are apt to forget. In con-
sidering the nobility Of q Lee
and the chivalry Of a Jeb
Stuart, that there must also
have been such characters as
Monckton around.
Central Figure
A few Of MIR. Basso's peo-
pie. like Monckton, are un-
usual and interesting. But
the unfortunate fact is that
John Bottomley. the central
figure. is rather dull to have
such q long and greatly de-
tailed story written around
him. John, dominated by his
father, is opposed to slavery
and much Southern thinking,
even realizes that the South
inevitably must lose the war,
but he never has much to say
about his views. He drifts
along, usually having his mind
made UP by someone else. It
takes him a long time to dis
cover that Stanhope is an old
windbag. that the lovely Lydia
is q grasping, ambitious wom-
an. not the lovely creature he
thought her. and that her
stepdaughter. Arabella, is the
jewel Of the family.
There are too many long
passages when nothing much
happens except dialogue
which explains the times more
fully but slows UP the story.
And yet the last phase Of
the planters life is portrayed
sharply. Nothing was ever to
be the same. but no one could
quite realize it. Mr.. Basso, as
he has shown in seven pre-
vious novels. is q stylist who
is easy to read, a delineator
Of atmosphere and character
who produces effects that are
memorable.
