Synopsis
Based on the subject's very extensive diary, this biography of an 18th-century Virginia landowner (and slaveholder) reveals much about Landon Carter the man, his relations with slaves, and the world he lived in. Rhys Isaac considers the diary to be both document and literature, and he stays close to the events as recorded by Carter: weather, crops, family troubles, business concerns, troubles with slaves, and reflections on God. Carter's diary unabashedly recounts Carter's own horrific treatment of his slaves; Isaac's biography places Carter within the world the slaveholders made. True to the biographer's craft, Isaac presents man and milieu, drawing a well-rounded psychological portrait of a wealthy and powerful patriarch who was also troubled, flawed, weak, and ultimately defeated.
