The Virginians (I) 弗吉尼亚人（英文版） (English Edition)

The Virginians is a novel by William Makepeace Thackeray which forms a sequel to his Henry Esmond. Set partly in England and partly in colonial Virginia,It tells the story of Henry Esmond's twin grandsons, George and Henry Warrington. The novel follows the trials and tribulations of the twin brothers whose personal lives intrude on their decision to fight in the war effort. Henry's romantic entanglements with an older woman lead to his taking a commission in the British army and fighting under the command of General Wolfe at the capture of Quebec. On the outbreak of the American War of Independence he takes the revolutionary side. George, who is also a British officer, thereupon resigns his commission rather than take up arms against his brother. Later two brothers find themselves on opposite sides of the war for American Independence. The breach between them is followed as the brothers take opposite sides in the American Civil War. A subtle commentary on the Civil War and the breach between the two sides is also presented.
