Matthew Lewis is best remembered as the author of the sensational
Gothic novel The Monk
(1796).
He was also a slave-holder, inheriting two
large plantations and visiting Jamaica twice in
1815-16
and
1817-18,
primarily to improve the living and working conditions of his slaves. His
anecdotal record, the Journal of a West India Proprietor, was not published
until
1834,
nearly twenty years after his death. Warmly praised by
Coleridge, theJoumaFs vivid descriptions and lively, self-deprecating tone
make it one of the most readable accounts of plantation life from a slave¬
holder s perspective. Although Lewis emerges as a humane and
enthusiastic chronicler, his omissions are as significant as the
carnivalesque vignettes he sketches.
Journal of a West India Proprietor records a colonial encounter between
slave-holder and slaves at a critical historical moment, as anti-slavery
agitation was to lead to emancipation within twenty years. This unique
edition provides full contextual background and includes Lewis s verse
narrative The Isle of Devils , as well as a letter and an extract from
his papers.
