- This is an output of extended scale and scope, ranging across literature from the UK, Caribbean, and Brazil. It represents a major contribution to the field, uniting pioneering work in world literature with cutting-edge methodologies in environmental studies and substantial historical research into the coal, oil, sugar, and cacao industries. Using ‘commodity frontiers’ as a new basis for comparativism, it creatively re-interprets the work of writers never previously studied together (e.g., Ellen Wilkinson, Jorge Amado, and Gwyn Thomas). Drawing on extensive archival research, the book also offers original analyses of lesser-known and marginalized authors, including Stephen Cobham and Irene Saunderson.'
