A book that will greatly enhance understanding of the situation of single women in the nineteenth-century South; An Evening When Alone presents the journals of four very different women who; although their lives were worlds apart; each lived and wrote in the South during the years 1827-67. Intimate and revealing; these journals provide refreshing insight into the joys and travails of "ordinary" single women in the nineteenth century South: courtship; disappointed love; illness; the gratifications and pains of female friendship; the grief of the Civil War; the ambivalences of family life; and the difficulty and consolation of religion.
