George Parfitt
George Parfitt was born in Trinidad but has lived in England since 1954 and was educated at the University of Bristol. He spent most of his working life as Lecturer and, later, Reader in English Literature at the University of Nottingham. He has published widely, mainly on seventeenth-century literature and on First World War poetry and fiction. He is also a published poet, the father of five children, and now lives in retirement with his wife in Newark, Nottinghamshire. BEING ANGLO-CARIBBEAN aims to investigate the identity of a white Trinidadian creole, and to relate this to wider issues of West Indian identity through a consideration of literary and historical texts. INSIDE AND OUT is the author's most recent collection of poetry. The BIBLIOGRAPHIES of West Indian Fiction and West Indian Poetry have been compiled over several years and are offered as free downloads. Details have been compiled from books in the author's own collection, library catalogues and from on-line sources.
