An essay is presented in which the author discusses the obsession of the Caribbean writers with history at Edward Baugh's "The West Indian Writer and His Quarrel with History." He states that the über-trope of Baugh of the quarrel as itself taken up by the specters of prior theoretical interventions show the longevity of its discursive instrumentality in Caribbean idea. He mentions that the use of quarrel by Baugh recalls the discussion of writer George Lamming of the exilic West Indian literature in 1950s.

The article presents how writer Edward Baugh unfolded the focus of criticism on literature as presenting images on the society of West Indian. It highlights West Indian literary criticism as a joint project of critics and writers, a discourse in which critical and creative ideas are cojoined. It discusses the recognition of Baugh on the stakes involved in choosing for the audience that matters most, speaking to them with eloquence and passion.

The relation between painting and poetry in Walcott's work has been explored by a number of critics including Edward Baugh, Robert Bensen and Clara de Rosa Lima. This essay develops their observations about painters and painting in Walcott's early poetry by considering the interplay between the visual and the visionary in his more recent Tiepolo's Hound (2000). Considering how the poem explores the sublime, the essay asks what effect Walcott's response to aesthetics has on the traditional agenda of post-colonial politics. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
