520    "Our perception of life at Monticello has changed 
       dramatically over the past quarter century. The image of 
       an estate presided over by a benevolent Thomas Jefferson 
       has given way to a more complex view of Monticello as a 
       working plantation, the success of which was made possible
       by the work of slaves. At the center of this transition 
       has been the work of Lucia 'Cinder' Stanton, recognized as
       the leading interpreter of Jefferson's life as a planter 
       and master and of the lives of his slaves and their 
       descendants. This volume represents the first attempt to 
       pull together Stanton's most important writings on slavery
       at Monticello and beyond. Stanton's pioneering work 
       revealed Jefferson's psychology in crucial ways, deepening
       our understanding of him without demonizing him. Perhaps 
       even more important is the light her writings have shed on
       the lives of the slaves at Monticello. Her detailed 
       reconstruction for modern readers of the life of the slave
       is more than vivid; it reveals an active role in the 
       creation of Monticello and a dynamic community previously 
       unimagined. The essays collected here address Jefferson 
       and the lives of his slaves from a rich variety of 
       perspectives, from family histories (including the 
       Hemingses) to the temporary slave community at Jefferson's
       White House to stories of former slaves' lives after 
       Monticello. Each piece is characterized by Stanton's deep 
       knowledge of her subject and by her determination to do 
       justice to both Jefferson and his slaves"--Publisher
