Keep the Days by Steven M Stowe

Keep the Days by Steven M Stowe

Delving into wartime diaries kept by women of the southern slave-owning class, Steven Stowe recaptures their motivations to keep the days close even as war tore apart the brutal system of slavery that had benefited them. In studying the inner lives of these unsympathetic characters, Stowe also explores the importance - and the limits - of historical empathy as a condition for knowing the past.

Steven M. Stowe is Professor Emeritus of History at Indiana University, Bloomington.
