«Dixie» is the novel by Julien Green, published in paperback by Fayard in 1995 (379 pages, in French).
In 1862, during the American Civil War, Elizabeth, a twenty-eight-year-old Southern woman twice widowed, decides to ignore conventions and falls in love with a private. As the war grows bloodier, the Welsh governess Miss Llewelyn and several children come to the fore; «Dixie», the song of the South, runs through the story as an emotional motif.
Julien Green's third novel devoted to the American South, after «Les Pays lointains» and «Les Étoiles du Sud».
For readers of historical fiction and fiction about the American Civil War, as well as those who follow Julien Green's narrative about the American South.
Julien Green, often Julian Green, was an American writer who lived most of his life in France and wrote mostly in French and only occasionally in English. Over a long and prolific career, he authored novels and essays, several plays, and a biography of Francis of Assisi, produced a four-volume autobiography, and for decades maintained a daily journal that he edited and published in nineteen volumes. The posthumous publication of the unexpurgated text of his journals presented a different version of his personality and sexuality, revealed details of the lives of many of his prominent contemporaries, and documented the gay subculture of 20th-century France.
