Publisher's Synopsis
In the twilight of an empire and the long shadow of its forgotten traditions, Dispatches from The Old South Repository delivers a piercing meditation on faith, masculinity, history, and the shifting tides of civilization. With prose both unflinching and lyrical, John Slaughter weaves a tapestry of essays that explore the weight of the past and the uncertain promise of the future.
From the crumbling foundations of Christendom to the rebirth of Southern Gothic, from the lost virtues of the warrior to the specter of modern alienation, this collection dissects the forces that have shaped our world-and the ones that will define what comes next.
For those who refuse to be lulled by comfort, who seek meaning in forgotten wisdom, and who hear the echoes of history in the silence of the present-this book is for you.
