Like Laurel Ulrich in her classic "A Midwife's Tale", Rhys Isaac here unfolds not just the life, but the mental world of our countrymen in a long-distant time. Moreover, in this presentation of Landon Carter's passionate narratives, the diarist becomes an arresting new character in the world's literature, a figure of Shakespearean proportions, the Lear of his own tragic kingdom. This long-awaited work will be seen both as a major contribution to Revolution history and a triumph of the art of biography.
A Pulitzer-Prize winning historian's brilliant reconstruction of a Virginia planter's world based on his diary.
