First published in 1764, this volume is a major work in the history
of Anglophone Caribbean literature. It is the only poem written in
the Caribbean before the 20th century to achieve a place in the
western canon. Grainger sought to interpret his personal experience
of the Caribbean through his wide and deep reading in literature,
from the Greeks and Milton. This achievement is a "West Indian
Georgic", challenging assumptions about poetic diction and the
proper subject-matter of poetry, and boldly asserting the
importance of the Caribbean to the 18th century British empire.
this is the first reliable text and critical study of the poems,
offering an extensive introduction and notes with new information
on Grainger's life and the origins and reception of the poem, as
well as its influence on later Caribbean writers. James Grainger
(1721-1766), doctor, poet and translator, is well-known figure in
18th century English literature. A Scotsman by birth and a St
Kittian by origin, his many poems and essays reflect the
reactionary writings emerging against English cultural hegemony at
the time and offer a keen insight into the re-writing of the
prevalent colonial discourse.
