Books 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.

Choice collection of 13 stories includes "Life in the Iron Mills" by Rebecca Harding Davis, "Transcendental Wild Oats" by Louisa May Alcott, Zora Neale Hurston's "Sweat," plus superb fiction by Kate Chopin, Willa Cather, Edith Wharton, many others.
