In 1754 the British adventurer, compiler, and novelist Edward
Kimber published The History of the Life and Adventures of Mr.
Anderson. Rooted in a tale Kimber heard while exploring the
Atlantic seaboard, Mr. Anderson is the novelist's transatlantic
tale of slavery, Indian relations, and frontier life. Having been
kidnapped in England, transported across the Middle Passage, and
sold to a brutal Maryland planter as a white slave, Tom Anderson
gains his freedom and in rapid succession becomes a successful
trader, a war hero, and a friend to slave, Indian, Quebecois, and
Englishman alike. Still engaging 250 years after its original
publication, Mr. Anderson offers a rich and varied portrayal of the
mid-eighteenth-century Atlantic world. This Broadview edition
features an introduction by both a literary scholar and a
historian, elaborating on significant themes in the novel. The
appendices include an extensive selection of documents-some
unpublished elsewhere-further contextualizing many of those themes,
including slavery, British representations of colonial America, and
eighteenth-century British literature's emphasis on sensibility and
the "cult of feeling."
The books in the Florida and the Caribbean Open Books Series
demonstrate the University Press of Florida's long history of
publishing Latin American and Caribbean studies titles that connect
in and through Florida, highlighting the connections between the
Sunshine State and its neighboring islands. Books in this series
show how early explorers found and settled Florida and the
Caribbean. They tell the tales of early pioneers, both foreign and
domestic. They examine topics critical to the area such as travel,
migration, economic opportunity, and tourism. They look at the
growth of Florida and the Caribbean and the attendant pressures on
the environment, culture, urban development, and the movement of
peoples, both forced and voluntary. The Florida and the Caribbean
Open Books Series gathers the rich data available in these
architectural, archaeological, cultural, and historical works, as
well as the travelogues and naturalists' sketches of the area in
prior to the twentieth century, making it accessible for scholars
and the general public alike. The Florida and the Caribbean Open
Books Series is made possible through a grant from the National
Endowment for the Humanities and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation,
under the Humanities Open Books program.
