Warner Arundell: The Adventures of a Creole (1838) is a novel by Edward Lanzer Joseph. Published in the last year of Joseph's life, the novel claims to be an edited version of the memoirs of Warner Arundell, a Creole lawyer and doctor from Grenada. A common literary trope of the time, this grants a modicum of authority to the author while maintaining his distance from events that may have been drawn from his own experiences. Believed to be the first novel set in Trinidad, Warner Arundell: The Adventures of a Creole is a groundbreaking work of Caribbean literature that continues to inform readers of the Creole experience in the Americas. "As we entered the town, I was absolutely rendered giddy by the opulence and grandeur of the shops, the thronging of the population, and the deafening noise; while the smoky atmosphere, unlike aught I ever before beheld, weighed down my spirits." When an encounter with fraudulent lawyers leaves him penniless, he travels to Venezuela and England to study law and medicine before returning to the New World in search of fortune. Along the way, he embarks on several adventures, meets the African-descended side of his family, and falls in love with a beautiful Venezuelan woman. Originally written to shed light on the "many abuses in [the] West Indian Colonial System," the novel has since been recognized as a pioneering work of Caribbean literature which continues to inform the postcolonial perspective on race, class, and identity in the British colonial era. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Edward Lanzer Joseph's Warner Arundell: The Adventures of a Creole is a classic of Caribbean literature reimagined for modern readers.

Not illustrated. 1838 edition. Excerpt: ... will pass over them, and merely state, that my application was noticed and praised by all whose lectures I attended. Nothing worth relating occurred until January 1815; when, during one miserable foggy and snowy day, which is peculiarly unpleasant to a native of the torrid zone, I went into a haird resser's shop in Warwick Street, Golden Square, to get my hair trimmed. The operator and his assistant were both employed; I was, therefore, obliged to wait until one of them was disengaged. The barber observing, by my blowing my fingers, that I was disagreeably affected by the cold, asked me to go into his back room, where there was a fire. I agreed to this proposition, and went in, took a seat before the grate, and warmed myself, until the hairdresser despatched his customers. On looking round me, I saw on a sidetable a body of the most beautiful hair I ever beheld. It was of a light-brown colour, most elegantly curled, more than six feet in length, and of the most silky texture I ever touched. The man of the shop, having finished with his other customers, came to me. He was a short dapper man, with a deep pock-marked countenance, which looked as though it had been sculptured with a rough chisel out of a cask of tallow: and yet his pale crumpet-looking features had the traits of good-natnre and intelligence so plainly written on them, that, nngainly as they were, they seemed any thing but disagreeable. Real good-humour can throw a pleasant expression into an ugly visage. "You seem, sir, to enjoy the fire; you don't like cold," said he. I replied, that a clear frosty day was tolerable, because I could brace myself with exercise; but that I hated the foggy weather of his climate. "Perceive, sir, you are a foreigner?" "Not exactly: I am a West...

Situated opposite the mouth of the Orinoco River, western Trinidad has long been considered an entrepôt to mainland South America. Trinidad’s geographic position—seen as strategic by various imperial governments—led to many heterogeneous peoples from across the region and globe settling or being relocated there. The calm waters around the Gulf of Paria on the western fringes of Trinidad induced settlers to construct a harbour, Port of Spain, around which the modern capital has been formed. From its colonial roots into the postcolonial era, western Trinidad therefore has played an especial part in the shaping of the island’s literature. Viewed from one perspective, western Trinidad might be deemed as narrating the heart of the modern state’s national literature. Alternatively, the political threats posed around San Fernando in Trinidad’s southwest in the 1930s and from within the capital in the 1970s present a different picture of western Trinidad—one in which the fractures of Trinidad and Tobago’s projected nationalism are prevalent. While sugar remains a dominant narrative in Caribbean literary studies, this book offers a unique literary perspective on matters too often perceived as the sole preserve of sociological, anthropological or geographical studies. The legacy of the oil industry and the development of the suburban commuter belt of East-West Corridor, therefore, form considerable discursive nodes, alongside other key Trinidadian sites, such as Woodford Square, colonial houses and the urban yards of Port of Spain. This study places works by well-known authors such as V. S. Naipaul and Samuel Selvon, alongside writing by Michel Maxwell Philip, Marcella Fanny Wilkins, E. L. Joseph, Earl Lovelace, Ismith Khan, Monique Roffey, Arthur Calder-Marshall and the largely neglected novelist, Yseult Bridges, who is almost entirely forgotten today. Using fiction, calypso, history, memoir, legal accounts, poetry, essays and journalism, this study opens with an analysis of Trinidad’s nineteenth century literature and offers twentieth century and more contemporary readings of the island in successive chapters. Chapters are roughly arranged in chronological order around particular sites and topoi, while literature from a variety of authors of British, Caribbean, Irish and Jewish descent is represented.

Crossing the Line examines a group of early nineteenth-century novels by white creoles, writers whose identities and perspectives were shaped by their experiences in Britain’s Caribbean colonies. Colonial subjects residing in the West Indian colonies "beyond the line," these writers were perceived by their metropolitan contemporaries as far removed—geographically and morally—from Britain and "true" Britons. Routinely portrayed as single-minded in their pursuit of money and irredeemably corrupted by their investment in slavery, white creoles faced a considerable challenge in showing they were driven by more than a desire for power and profit. Crossing the Line explores the integral role early creole novels played in this cultural labor. The emancipation-era novels that anchor this study of Britain's Caribbean colonies question categories of genre, historiography, politics, class, race, and identity. Revealing the contradictions embedded in the texts’ constructions of the Caribbean "realities" they seek to dramatize, Candace Ward shows how these white creole authors gave birth to characters and enlivened settings and situations in ways that shed light on the many sociopolitical fictions that shaped life in the anglophone Atlantic.
