About this book

Foes is a 1918 novel by Mary Johnston (1870-1936), the Virginia novelist famous for her colonial romances, here working Scottish material in the era of the Jacobite rising of 1745. The novel follows two friends turned enemies, Alexander Jardin and Ian Rullock, whose feud over betrayal and a woman runs from the Scottish lowlands through the Forty-five and beyond, as Johnston works her later themes of hatred transcended and the soul's long education. After 1913 Johnston turned from straight romance toward mystical and philosophical fiction, and Foes belongs to this later manner, joining adventure narrative to her interest in spiritual evolution. The novel shows the second phase of one of America's most popular historical novelists. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
