Lost and Found: An A-Z of Neglected Writers of the Anglophone Caribbean

The A-Z of Neglected Writers from the English-speaking Caribbean makes a major contribution to restoring a fuller picture of this region’s extraordinary literary history. It brings back to attention writers who were prominent in their day and subsequently slipped out of view – such as Phyllis Shand Allfrey, W. G. Ogilvie and Claude Thompson, while also advocating for writers whose work was never properly recognised or circulated – such as Edwina Melville and Monica Skeete. Offering a fascinating insight into the much wider range of twentieth-century writers than is commonly acknowledged, this book also provides future researchers with a comprehensive bibliography of their forgotten works.
