| Resumen en español | In this essay, I offer a reading of the recently republished Trinidadian novel Warner Arundell, Adventures of a Creole by E.L. Joseph (1838), finding lurking within its hidden design, or forced poetics, not only an abolitionist stance, but also a redemption of slave revot as a legitimate means for achieving racial equiality. I discuss the implications of its setting during the Woodford era, arguing that it is a period in which a colonial modernity is inaugurated. Joseph asserts the possibility of a truly modern Creole future through the reunion of the hero with his colored brother. I also show how the other major mulatto figure, Julien Fédon, as a leader of the failed Grenadian Revolution, is the spectral mulatto who haunts the novel, the mystery that drives the text, and the one who ultimately must be redeemed |
