It argues that these transformations were not only deeply interconnected, but that together they established conditions fundamental to the development of a distinctive literary culture in the early Americas. 410 0$aPublished for the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture, Williamsburg, Virginia 606 $aNatural history$zWest Indies 606 $aSlavery$zWest Indies$xHistory$y18th century 607 $aWest Indies$xIntellectual life$y18th century 607 $aWest Indies$xHistory$y18th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aNatural history 615 0$aSlavery$xHistory 676 $a972.9 700 $aIannini$b Christopher P.$01033472 712 02$aOmohundro Institute of Early American History & Culture, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463407903321 996 $aFatal revolutions$92452051 997 $aUNINA
