Stewart Brown brings an incisive and encompassing imagination to
these poems of Africa, the Caribbean, Wales and England; to the
sweep of imperial history and its painful aftermath and the
intimacies of domestic life. He writes of Africa and the Caribbean
with a rare combination of sympathy, honesty and inwardness, while
never pretending to be other than an Englishman abroad.
The 19th century was, to a large extent, the 'British century'.
Great Britain was the great world power and its institutions,
beliefs and values had an immense impact on the world far beyond
its formal empire. Providence and Empire argues that knowledge of
the religious thought of the time is crucial in understanding the
British imperial story. The churches of the United Kingdom were the
greatest suppliers of missionaries to the world, and there was a
widespread belief that Britain had a divine mission to spread
Christianity and civilisation, to eradicate slavery, and to help
usher in the millennium; the Empire had a providential purpose in
the world. This is the first connected account of the interactions
of religion, politics and society in England, Scotland, Ireland and
Wales between 1815 and 1914. Providence and Empire is essential
reading for any student who wishes to gain an insight into the
social, political and cultural life of this period.

With poems, stories, extracts from novels, essays, speeches, and
cricket journalism, this account is a multifaceted portrait of the
significance of cricket to the Caribbean and the attraction of
Caribbean cricket to the outside world. From the global playing
fields to the bumpier village fields and sugar estates, this is a
celebration of those who forged an art out of a game, transformed a
colonial sport into the cutting edge of Caribbean nationalism, and,
in the 1970s and 1980s, changed forever the nature of the game.
The Caribbean is the source of one of the richest, most accessible, and yet technically adventurous traditions of contemporary world literature. This collection of Caribbean short stories is pan-Caribbean, ranging beyond the Anglophone territories to include stories originally published in Spanish, French, and Dutch. It brings together for the first time contributions from major figures such as V. S. Naipaul, Jean Rhys, and Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and work from the exciting new generation of Caribbean writers represented by Edwidge Danticat, and Jamaica Kincaid.
Major essays on the work of Derek Walcott, Kamau Brathwaite, Lorna
Goodison, Kwame Dawes, and other prominent Caribbean, African,
British, and American poets are featured in this collection that
has as its subtext a mistrust of postcolonial theory and its whole
academic industry/enterprise. Stewart Brown includes
autobiographical, literary essays that establish the ground from
which the other essays are written, asserting that poetry is more
important than its criticism. Thoroughly revised, expanded, and
updated, these essays were written mainly for literary rather than
academic journals, and are wide-ranging, provocative, and
intellectually rigorous.
Kamau Brathwaite is arguably the most original poet yet to emerge
from the Caribbean; in terms of his technical experimentation with
form and language and the sheer scale and ambition of his work he
is certainly the most adventurous. Author of over a dozen
collections of poetry, several works of cu
