Crossing the Line by Candace Ward
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. 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 labour.
"Crossing the Line offers a compelling contribution to literary history by tracing the development of the early novel in a location previously understood as being primarily focused on the physical machinery of slavery" — Nicole N. Aljoe, Northeastern University
"In its attention to white creole identity — and the requisite jockeying between metropolitan and Caribbean subject positions — Crossing the Line supplies a fresh story of the novel in the early Atlantic world." — ALH Online Review, XVIII
