About the author

Thomas Atwood

d. 1793

Best known for writing one of the earliest full-length accounts of Dominica, this late 18th-century judge left behind a vivid record of the island’s landscape, government, and colonial life. His surviving work is valuable both as history and as a window into British Caribbean attitudes of the period.
