Books by John Cowley

A biography of Ernest Belfort Bax - who was among the most original and gifted of the first generation of Marxists in Victorian England - which sets him in his privileged Victorian middle-class context, analyzes his political and intellectual development, and assesses his achievements.

Starting from the days of slavery and following through to the first decades of the twentieth century, this book traces the evolution of Carnival and secular black music in Trinidad and beyond.
