The Builders is a novel written by Ellen Anderson Gholson Glasgow and published in 1919. Set in the South during the Reconstruction period following the American Civil War, the story follows the lives of two families: the Marstons, who are wealthy and influential, and the Ashburns, who are poor but determined to succeed. The Marstons are determined to maintain their social status and power, while the Ashburns strive to overcome their poverty and achieve success. The novel explores themes of class, race, and gender, as well as the struggle for power and identity in a changing society. It also delves into the complexities of family dynamics and relationships, as the characters navigate their personal and professional lives. Throughout the novel, Glasgow uses vivid descriptions of the Southern landscape and culture to create a rich and immersive setting. She also employs a narrative style that blends realism with romanticism, creating a compelling and thought-provoking story. Overall, The Builders is a classic work of American literature that offers a glimpse into the social and cultural complexities of the Reconstruction era, while also exploring timeless themes of human nature and the pursuit of success.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
