Clement Clarke Moore was born in New York City and attended Columbia College, graduating at the top of his class in 1798. While he authored various works, his most beloved is the poem ""A Visit from St. Nicholas,"" better known as ""The Night Before Christmas,"" written in 1822 for his nine children. Moore taught Greek and oriental literature at the General Theological Society from 1823 until he retired in 1850. He died in Newport, Rhode Island, in 1863.
Making extensive use of primary sources, Edelson provides a rich, nuanced account of the origins and maturation of the plantation economy in the South Carolina Lowcountry. Countering earlier depictions of the Colonial plantation economy as stunted and planters as isolated from the larger Atlantic economy, the author instead views the plantation itself as a dynamic instrument of colonization and development and planters as early modern capitalists. ..This is a solid piece of scholarship that not only adds to the understanding of Colonial South Carolina, but in its comprehensive character has something to offer all students of Colonial America and the Atlantic World. -- J.
