Although the colonies in the West Indies were as important to the expanding British empire as those in North America, writings from the British West Indies have been conspicuously absent from anthologies of seventeenth and eighteenthcentury British literature. In this first literary anthology dedicated to the region, Thomas W. Krise gathers important but littleknown descriptions, poems, narratives, satires, and essays written in and about this culturally rich and politically tempestuous region.Caribbeana offers invaluable period commentaries on slavery, colonialism, gender relations, African and European history, natural history, agriculture, and medicine. Highlights include several of the earliest protests against slavery; a superb ode by the Cambridgeeducated AfroJamaican poet Francis Williams; James Grainger's extended georgic poem, The Sugar Cane; Frances Seymour's poignant tale of the Englishman Inkle who sells his Indian saviorlover Yarico into slavery; and several descriptions of the West Indies during the early years of settlement.
