The Cambridge Companion to Ignatius Sancho
One of the largest archives of writing by an eighteenth-century Black individual, this volume not only connects the letters of Ignatius Sancho to their social and historical contexts but also highlights their cultural and aesthetic significance. Offering an interdisciplinary range of perspectives on Sancho and his letters from across literary, historical, and cultural studies, and authored by scholars, archivists, and performers alike, it provide…
Re-Thinking "Women" and Agency
The introduction to this special issue of Eighteenth-Century Studies offers meditations on the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the ASECS Women's Caucus. In addition to updating the history of the caucus since the 30th anniversary, we emphasize the various roles the Women's Caucus has played and continues to play within ASECS and academia at large
The Cambridge Companion to Mary Prince
The History of Mary Prince was the first account of the life of a Black woman to be published in the United Kingdom. Part of the avalanche of print culture that accompanied the transatlantic abolitionist movement, it has in recent years become an increasingly central text within pedagogy and research on Black history and literature, thanks to its vivid testimonies of Prince's thoughts and feelings about her gendered experience of Caribbean slaver…
Cambridge Companion to Mary Prince
The Black Atlantic, Slave Narratives, and Empire
Traditionally, scholars have focused on how narratives of the lives of the enslaved, commonly understood as “slave narratives,” engaged with explicit claims to authenticity and authority as distinct from those of the novel genre that developed coterminously. Indeed, scholars of the slave narrative have frequently focused almost exclusively on the discursive foundations and frameworks of abolitionism. To solely focus on whether or not a narrative …

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the refrain most heard amongst scholars who do archival research is a lament for the lost tactile and social aspects of that work. They miss the excitement that comes
Slavery and Class in the American South
Although scholarship has confirmed that the “testimony published by the generation of former slaves who produced narratives between 1840 and 1865 made a vital and indelible contribution to a global literature of human rights,” most academic engagements with these texts—commonly known as slave narratives—tend to be forensic analyses or are overwhelmingly concerned with questions of authority and authenticity. In this crowning scholarly achievement…
Crossing the line
During the eighteenth century, many of the prevailing representations of West Indian creoles and planters portrayed them as lascivious, uneducated beasts—contaminated by the stain of slavery and pr
Literary Histories of the Early Anglophone Caribbean
The Caribbean has traditionally been understood as a region that did not develop a significant ‘native’ literary culture until the postcolonial period. Indeed, most literary histories of the Caribbean begin with the texts associated with the independence movements of the early twentieth century. However, as recent research has shown, although the printing press did not arrive in the Caribbean until 1718, the roots of Caribbean literary history pr…

Going to Law”
Despite the fact that they had not proven consistently helpful in their quests for freedom, British West Indian slaves frequently consulted the courts to invoke the rule of law and pursue their rights. Several Caribbean historians have documented the fact that slaves in the West Indies participated in formal legal arenas almost from the initial days of colonization and claimed the courts as one of their own forums for resolving disputes and asser…
Aria for Ethiopia
Pauline Hopkins's serialized magazine novel, Of One Blood; or, the Hidden Self (1902-03), is strongly connected to music. As Lois Brown has explained in her recent literary biography, Pauline Hopkins spent over fifteen years as a performer of classical music and musical theater before she turned to writing. And yet, scholars have not explored the impact of music on Hopkins's literary œuvre. This paper will illuminate the significant impact of mus…
