This novel is based on the murder case known as the "Kentucky Tragedy". In 1826, Jeremiah Beaumont stood trial for murdering his benefactor and father figure, the politician Colonel Cassius Fort. This is the story of his crime, his trial, his ultimate sin and punishment.
In the admixture of wilderness and elegant society that was 1826 Kentucky, Jeremiah Beaumont, a brilliant, imaginative lawyer, stood trial for murdering his benefactor and father figure, the politician Colonel Cassius Fort. Now all the documents are in hand to reconstruct Beaumont's life story - his crime, his trial, his ultimate sin and punishment - and the historian-narrator of World Enough and Time sets about doing just that. Based on the famous murder case known as the Kentucky Tragedy, World Enough and Time is, like its precursor All the King's Men, a fictional wonder that personifies history, philosophy, politics, and passion.
