Excerpt from Tales of the Colonies, Vol. 1 of 2 On the dreariest part of the north coast of Ireland, and at the bottom of a small bay, there is a village inhabited chiefly by fishermen, who also occasionally exercise the trade of smugglers. The adjoining coast is almost perpendicular, and is rendered nearly unapproachable by ranges of black rock, which lie parallel to its outline, and about half a mile from the shore. On these, during high winds, the sea beats with tremendous violence; and at such times, even in the darkest nights, the meteoric gleam of the flashing foam may be distinguished by watchful seamen at a leagues's distance.

Excerpt from Tales of the Colonies, or the Adventures of an Emigrant, Vol. 3 of 3 It was on a fine winter morning, in the month of July, that I put the saddle on my horse for a ride to Hobart Town to enquire for the bushranger's daughter. Some snow had fallen in the night, and it lay on the ground about an inch thick, presenting an appearance of striking contrast with the evergreen foliage of the native trees and shrubs.

Lenora Warren tells a new story about the troubled history of abolition and slave violence by examining representations of shipboard mutiny and insurrection in late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Anglo-American and American literature. Fire on the Water centers on five black sailors, whose experiences of slavery and insurrection either inspired or found resonance within fiction: Olaudah Equiano, Denmark Vesey, Joseph Cinqué, Madison Washington, and Washington Goode. These stories of sailors, both real and fictional, reveal how the history of mutiny and insurrection is both shaped by, and resistant to, the prevailing abolitionist rhetoric surrounding the efficacy of armed rebellion as a response to slavery. Pairing well-known texts with lesser-known figures (Billy Budd and Washington Goode) and well-known figures with lesser-known texts (Denmark Vesey and the work of John Howison), this book reveals the richness of literary engagement with the politics of slave violence.
