 | | George Cartwright, born in the eighteenth-century into the gentry of Nottinghamshire, is described by historians as a "soldier, diarist, entrepreneur." His greatest legacy is the place in Labrador named after him and the journal he wrote during his years there, when he lived among the Inuit and ran a trading post. |
 | | In The Afterlife of George Cartwright, he emerges as a restless, renegade soul, monstrously ambitious on the one hand, a man who lived to hunt and kill, yet also compellingly human. |
 | | Through the lens of John Steffler's vivid narrative, time and memory are fragmented into a kaleidoscope of events as Cartwright's spirit, alive after death, rides his ghostly horse on hawking expeditions across the fields and motorways of modern England. |
