This volume examines what Caribbean literature looked like before
1920 by surveying the print culture of the period. The emphasis is
on narrative, including an enormous range of genres, in varying
venues, and in multiple languages of the Caribbean. Essays examine
lesser-known authors and writing previously marginalized as
nonliterary: popular writing in newspapers and pamphlets; fiction
and poetry such as romances, sentimental novels, and ballads;
non-elite memoirs and letters, such as the narratives of the
enslaved or the working classes, especially women. Many
contributions are comparative, multilingual, and regional. Some
infer the cultural presence of subaltern groups within the texts of
the dominant classes. Almost all of the chapters move easily
between time periods, linking texts, writers, and literary
movements in ways that expand traditional notions of literary
influence and canon formation. Using literary, cultural, and
historical analyses, this book provides a complete re-examination
of early Caribbean literature.
