The Literary Legacy of Jimmy Carter

The Literary Legacy of Jimmy Carter brings together original essays about the thirty-two books that President Jimmy Carter wrote over the course of his life. Since Carter wrote most of these books after completing his term as president, this collection sheds light on Carter’s remarkable post-presidency years.

Jimmy Carters expansive body of writing ranges across the genres of memoir, commentary, childrens literature, poetry, and a novel about the Revolutionary War. Editors Mark I. West and Frye Gaillard have assembled a group of award-winning journalists, poets, historians, and literary scholars to reflect on this substantial and to some, unexpected dimension of Carters legacy. Collectively, these essays, including several by the editors themselves, document a through-line of ethical integrity, perspective, and insight that runs through Carters writing from his controversial trilogy on peace in the Middle East to his personal reflections on his Georgia boyhood. Carter never used a ghost writer. As a result, his distinct voice and point of view comes through in every book that he published.
