Caribbean Literature in Transition (Cambridge University Press) is a substantial scholarly collection with a broad historical range, its three volumes covering the periods 1800–1921 (edited by Evelyn O’Callaghan and Tim Watson), 1920–1970 (edited by Raphael Dalleo and Curdella Forbes), and 1970–2020 (edited by Ronald Cummings and Alison Donnell). It brings together themed chapters by a diverse array of mostly academic authors, aiming for an assessment of Caribbean literary studies at a time of transition within the field, including a renewed focus on early Caribbean writing and a more expansive sense of the literary canon.
