Printing and the Book Trade in the West Indies: Selected Studies (Studies in the History of Printing),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The division of the Caribbean islands between the major European powers resulted in the growth of a number of regional presses, providing the colonists with the reading matter they would have expected from their countries of origin. The differing attitudes of the colonial powers towards the press is evident both in the date when printing was first introduced in the colonies, and the number and type of works subsequently issued. Over the last twenty years Professor Cave's research has done much to clarify the development of printing in the West Indies. This volume brings together for the first time his work on the subject, with the addition of seven papers which have previously not been generally available. The author is principally concerned with printing in the Englishspeaking islands of the Caribbean, in particular with Jamaica, but there are also articles on printing in the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, the Dutch West Indies, Grenada and Trinidad. The parallels with early printing in the North American colonies are particularly important. Professor Cave has contributed an introduction and additional notes which draw attention to fresh material subsequently discovered. There is an index and bibliography.Table of ContentsPrefaceAspects of early printing and the book trade in the West IndiesThe use of slave labour in West Indian printing housesThe West Indian planter and his readingAn advertisement by John WellsPrinting in 19thcentury BelizeThe printing of The Honduras AlmanackA Grenada printers commendatory versePrinting in 18thcentury JamaicaAbstracts of wills and inventories of Jamaican printersAn inventory of the first Jamaican printing houseThomas Craddocks booksThe first printers in JamaicaTwo Jamaican printersThe plan tocracys passion for PorcupineA letter from Bernard RomansEarly circulating libraries in JamaicaThe first Jamaican private pressThe St. James Printery, Montego BayA proposal for a papermill in JamaicaPrinting in the Swedish West IndiesPrinting in Trinidad: some preliminary notesThe first Trinidad GuardianEarly printing in South TrinidadThe early printers of Grand Turk.
