Description: Lost and Found makes a major contribution to providing a fuller picture of the Caribbean’s rich literary history. It both restores our knowledge of writers whose lives and work have slipped out of view while heralding others whose work has never been properly recognised. Offering a fascinating insight into the lives and writings of these ‘lost’ writers, this A-Z also provides future researchers with a comprehensive bibliography of their forgotten works.
An inspiring reclaiming of writers, especially women, from Antigua, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Trinidad: those who were in the wrong place at the wrong time; those disregarded by the establishment; those whose personal or professional lives stole their writing lives; those who suffered discrimination; those who wrote about the “wrong” things. All are celebrated in this meticulously researched and compiled book.
Alison Donnell is head of Humanities and Professor of Modern Literatures in English at the University of Bristol. She has published widely in the field of Caribbean literature, with significant contributions to literary history and culture, research into women authors, and Caribbean literary archives.
