Burwell is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work explores the intricacies and daily life on a Virginia plantation, as recalled by the author from her own childhood experiences. It presents the author’s perspective on the relationships between the plantation owners and the enslaved people, depicted through nostalgic memories filled with affection and a sense of shared existence. At the start of the book, the author reflects on her upbringing within the confines of a Virginia plantation and how her early life was steeped in the sights, sounds, and interactions of plantation life. She evokes the images of herself and her sister adored by the enslaved individuals around them, sharing exchanges marked by kindness and camaraderie. The narrative captures the relatively harmonious existence on the plantation, detailing the roles of both the white family and the enslaved workers through stories that highlight mutual affection, stewardship, and the complexities of their shared lives, albeit through the lens of a perspective that seeks to defend that way of life against prevailing narratives of cruelty and oppression.
