Professor Iannini is a specialist in colonial and early nineteenth-century American literature, with strong interests in the literature and culture of the colonial Caribbean and the circum-Atlantic world. He is currently completing a book entitled Fatal Revolutions: Caribbean Natural History, Atlantic Slavery, and the Routes of Early American Literature. The book examines the many ways that early American writers and thinkers depicted the natural history of the greater Caribbean as they assessed their uneasy position in an imperial world-system fueled by West Indian sugar plantations and shaken by the prospect of slave revolution.
