"Jared Ross Hardesty's new critical edition, The Suriname Writings of John Gabriel Stedman, makes an important and necessary intervention into the study of eighteenth-century Caribbean travel writing and natural history by foregrounding the previously unpublished diary entries Stedman authored in Suriname, rather than focusing solely on his writings printed in the metropoles of Europe. Hardesty's edition is especially useful because it includes both a transcription of Stedman's Suriname diary and a detailed appendix tracking key discrepancies between the diary and Stedman's heavily revised printed natural history. This focus on genre and the editorial process in the production of Anglophone transatlantic writing is an excellent resource for students and scholars of the eighteenth-century Caribbean and the Atlantic World. I can see this being a helpful resource in an early American or eighteenth-century history or literature course, as it would enable students to easily compare differing editions of Stedman's Suriname writings. What Hardesty's edition of The Suriname Writings of John Gabriel Stedman offers is a more accessible study of how eighteenth-century writing on maroonage, slavery, science, and abolition was heavily mediated in the print and production process, as this compiled edition offers critical insight into the gendered and racial politics of life in the colonial Caribbean as well as how printers in the metropole attempted to alter the writing of colonizing authors like Stedman." -Elizabeth Polcha, Drexel University

He also offers a powerful critique of the institution of slavery and the ways in which it dehumanizes both slaves and slaveholders.

1772. De Staten-Generaal van de Verenigde Nederlanden heeft besloten om een leger van huurlingen naar Suriname te sturen om de slavenopstand te onderdrukken. Een van de huurlingen is de Schots-Nederlandse John Gabriel Stedman, dan 28 jaar. Al tijdens de overtocht begint hij met het bijhouden van een dagboek.In de dagboeken doet Stedman gedetailleerd verslag van het leven op de kolonie, waarin hij zowel de prachtige natuur als de gruwelijke omstandigheden waarin de slaven leven beschrijft. Door dat alles heen zit een liefdesverhaal verweven: in Paramaribo wordt Stedman namelijk verliefd op de vijftienjarige Joanna, die als slavin leeft. Hij verwekt een zoon bij haar en probeert geld bij elkaar te sparen om hen allebei vrij te kopen.Stedman komt in contact met een Engelse uitgever en in 1796 verschijnt een boek dat gebaseerd is op zijn dagboeken. Hoewel de uitgever al te heftige passages heeft aangepast, sloeg het boek in als een bom. Voor het eerst wordt duidelijk hoe gruwelijk de behandeling van tot slaaf gemaakte mensen is. Het boek verschijnt in verschillende talen en draagt ertoe bij dat men in Europa anders over slavernij gaat denken. Deze uitgave is verdeeld over vier delen en dit is deel 1-

When John Gabriel Stedman’s Narrative of Five Years Expedition was first published in 1796—a bowdlerized edition “full of lies and nonsense”—Stedman claimed to have burned two thousand copies. It nevertheless became an immediate popular success. A first-hand account of an eighteenth-century slave society, including graphic accounts of the worlds of both masters and slaves, it also contained vivid descriptions of exotic plants and animals, of military campaigns, and of romantic adventures. Illustrated by William Blake, Francesco Bartolozzi, and others, Stedman’s work was quickly translated into a half-dozen languages and was eventually published in over twenty-five different editions.   The Prices’ acclaimed critical edition is based on Stedman’s original, handwritten manuscript, which offers a portrait at considerable variance with the 1796 classic. The unexpurgated text, presented here with extensive notes and commentary, constitutes one of the richest and most evocative accounts ever written of a flourishing slave society. The Prices restore early omissions involving Stedman’s horror at the Dutch planters’ use of casual torture to discipline their slaves; his love and admiration for Joanna, his mulatto mistress; his strong belief in racial equality; and his outrage that “in 20 Years two millions of People are murdered to Provide us with Coffee & Sugar.” Freed from its original publisher’s censorship, Stedman’s Narrative stands as one of the strongest indictments ever to appear against New World slavery.
