Beschrijving
During the late 18th and early 19th centuries, a vibrant social scene unfolded at the Virginia Springs, where the allure of natural springs attracted a diverse assembly of southern society. As the weather warmed, the region became a haven for hundreds, then thousands, of individuals seeking respite and recreation. This era marked a unique confluence of leisure and social display, where attendees not only sought health benefits but also engaged in a cultural performance of class and community.
Charlene M. Boyer Lewis delves into this fascinating historical tapestry, exploring how the planter society navigated the complexities of social interactions, economic interests, and regional identity. The seasonal gatherings at these springs transformed into spectacles of fashion, etiquette, and power dynamics, reflecting the broader social hierarchies of the time. Through meticulous research and rich narrative, Lewis offers insight into how these gatherings shaped personal relationships and communal identities within the evolving landscape of the American South.
