Inhaltsangabe

When a young woman is accused of a terrible crime, her fate is bound to the testimony of a man who holds her future in his hands. Set in the post-Civil War South, the story follows her struggle for justice against prejudice, pride, and social suspicion. Themes of honor, sacrifice, and duty are woven through the courtroom drama as she faces relentless challenges to her integrity. The novel examines how personal ambition and social standing collide with truth, and how the bonds of family and love are tested when everything is at stake. In vivid prose and dramatic tension, At the Mercy of Tiberius captures the turbulence of Reconstruction-era life and the precarious balance between reputation and redemption. Augusta Evans Wilson, (1835-1909) was an American Southern author and one of the pillars of Southern literature. She wrote nine novels: Inez (1850), Beulah (1859), Macaria (1863), St. Elmo (1866), Vashti (1869), Infelice (1875), At the Mercy of Tiberius (1887), A Speckled Bird (1902), and Devota (1907). Given her support for the Confederate States of America from the perspective of a Southern patriot, and her literary activities during the American Civil War, she can be deemed as having contributed decisively to the literary and cultural development of the Confederacy in particular, and of the South in general.
