Orphan date November 2006 Richard Ligon 1585? 1662 , a British author, lost his fortune in the troubles of 1647 , and during this turbulent time in England he found himself, as he notes in his narrative, a stranger in my own country. On June 14, 1647, he left for Barbados Barbadoes to gain his fortune in the New World, like many of his fellow countrymen. After two years residence on the island he was attacked by a fever, and returned to England in 1650. He was soon afterward cast into prison by his creditors. There are conflicting reports as to whether his narrative was conceived of in prison as a way to pay off his creditors and gain his freedom, or before his imprisonment at the urging of Abraham Duppa , bishop of Salisbury . His work, a folio with maps and illustrations, is entitled A True and Exact History of the Island of Barbadoes and was published in London in 1657 and again in 1673. Importance in Literary Analysis Ligon s portrait of life in Barbadoes has made it into a number of literary journals and historical texts in an attempt by many scholars to derive exactly what life in the islands was like and exactly how Europeans, particularly the English, perceived slaves and their role in the sugar trade . One review in the journal Early American Literature see citation below offers a more linguistic approach to Ligon s texts. Author Thomas Krise reviews Keith Sandiford s analysis of words like sweet and negotiation in Ligon and says that such an analysis calls attention to various systems of contradiction present in our current understanding of Old World Caribbean culture.
