Description

Introduction: The Early American Landscape A Mercy, set in pre-revolutionary North America explores the possibilities that early settlers would have found upon their arrival in the 17t century. In a place that Morrison has called "ad hoc," a place where the ruling class often changed, but where there was always a ruling class, non-democratic systems were constructed specifically to manage large tracts of land and to exploit natural resources. The novel does not speculate on whether any of the main characters are looking to the future for any system better than the one they have. As readers, we see only the vicissitudes of everyday life, and the precariousness of life on the frontier. But in examining land, work, and property among the different classes of immigrants, A Mercy addresses the question of servitude and slavery as it evolves from custom and tradition to the law of the new land.
