| adam_text | The Woman of Colour is a unique literary account of a black heiress life immediately after
the abolition of the British slave trade. Olivia Fairfield, the biracial heroine and orphaned
daughter of a slaveholder, must travel from Jamaica to England, and as a condition of her
father s will either marry her Caucasian first cousin or become dependent on his mercenary
elder brother and sister-in-law. As Olivia decides between these two conflicting possibilities,
her letters recount her impressions of Britain and its inhabitants as only a black woman
could record them. She gives scathing descriptions of London, Bristol, and the British, as
well as progressive critiques of race, racism, and slavery. The narrative follows her life
from the heights of her arranged marriage to its swift descent into annulment and
destitution, only to culminate in her resurrection as a self-proclaimed widow who
flouts the conventional marriage plot.
The appendices, which include contemporary reviews of the novel, historical documents on
race and inheritance in Jamaica, and examples of other women of colour in early British prose
fiction, will further inspire readers to rethink issues of race, gender, class, and empire from
an African woman s perspective.
Lyndon J. Dominique is Assistant Professor of Eighteenth-Century
British Literature and Critical Race Studies at Georgetown
University in Washington DC.
Cover: Dido Elizabeth Belle and Lady Elizabeth Murray (detail).
