Notes:
224 p, A letter "en souffrance," in psychoanalytical terms, means a letter that has not been delivered; so Chancé's use of the term in relation to Caribbean authors means not so much that they are "suffering" as that they have not been heard by the ideal reader they seek to reach. Chancé examines the ways in which Caribbean writers such as Chamoiseau, Confiant, Glissant, Condé, and Maximin create texts that synthesize aspects of oral and written literature as well as the Creole and French languages in order to lend their narrators authority as storytellers, in an attempt to better communicate with this long-sought ideal reader. Includes an interview with Chamoiseau from 1997; a bibliography of literary and linguistic theory, anthropology, history, sociology, literary journals, and conferences; and an index of proper names.;

342 p, First published in 1764, The Sugar Cane is a major work in the history of Anglophone Caribbean literature. It is the only poem written in the Caribbean before the twentieth century to achieve a place in the Western 'canon'. Grainger wrote a "West India Georgic", challenging assumptions about poetic diction and the proper subject matter of poetry, and boldly asserting the importance of the Caribbean to the eighteenth-century British empire. This is the first reliable text and critical study of the poem, setting it within the context of Grainger's life and work; Grainger interprets his own experience of the Caribbean through his wide reading of literature. This is a critical study of his poem "The Sugar-Cane." (Amazon)
