Eighteenth Century Authors of Colour (33 books)

An antidote to the whiteness of 18thC Brit lit syllabi: works by nonwhite authors published in the "long" eighteenth century (1688—1838), emphasizing those which were read in England. Something of a companion to "Books on Race in the Eighteenth Century," which collects secondary works of historical and literary analysis.
