"The objective of this work is to make available to scholars and
students, in a modern annotated edition, a remarkable Caribbean
literary work of the late 1800s, hitherto known to and read by only
a handful of scholars. . . . [I]t is beyond question an
extraordinary work. And it is also beyond question a Caribbean
work. . . . Written long before the emergence of 'West Indian
literature' in the 1930s, it reflects the kind of literary and
cultural world which existed in Trinidad and elsewhere in the late
nineteenth century, yet it is unique in its ambition, poetic form
and length."
--Bridget Brereton, Professor Emerita, Department of History,
University of the West Indies, St Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago
