- Summary:
- Recovering Scotland's memory of the black Atlantic through its long-forgotten Caribbean connections, this book re-examines Enlightenment- to Romantic-era texts to reveal Scotland's deep cultural entanglement with Caribbean slavery. It explores the implications of this forgotten history from a world-literature perspective to suggest new directions for an archipelagic perspective in the transnational Atlantic world.
