Beschreibung
The past 100 years have witnessed the extraordinary flowering of fiction, poetry and drama from countries previously colonised by Britain, an output which has changed the map of English literature. This book introduces a wide range of Anglophone post-colonial writing from Africa, Australia, the Caribbean, India, Ireland and Britain, as well as other areas. Unlike most previous studies of postcolonial literature, this book places its emphasis on the literary texts rather than the theoretical ones. It offers detailed discussion of texts by many internationally renowned authors, including Chinua Achebe from Nigeria, James Joyce from Ireland, Salman Rushdie from India, Les Murray from Australia, and Derek Walcott from the Caribbean. It also includes brief historical surveys of the main areas discussed, a glossary of terms, and biographical notes on major authors.
