The Caribbean has traditionally been understood as a region that
did not develop a significant 'native' literary culture until the
postcolonial period. Indeed, most literary histories of the
Caribbean begin with the texts associated with the independence
movements of the early twentieth century. However, as recent
research has shown, although the printing press did not arrive in
the Caribbean until 1718, the roots of Caribbean literary history
predate its arrival. This collection contributes to this research
by filling a significant gap in literary and historical knowledge
with the first collection of essays specifically focused on the
literatures of the early Caribbean before 1850.
