* How does Caribbean literature use English genres?* How has English Literature been shaped by Caribbean contact?
* How did English poetry confront the violence of Caribbean experience?
* How are icons of English art such as Turner's Slave Ship seen under Caribbean eyes?
Tobias Döring answers these questions through a close analysis of key texts by Derek Walcott, V. S. Naipaul, and Wilson Harris, as well as those of a younger generation of writers such as David Dabydeen, Grace Nichols and Amryl Johnson. The result is an analysis of the intertextual relationship between English and Caribbean writing.
Döring uses Postcolonialism as a backdrop to examine and question the traditional genres of travel writing, nature poetry, adventure tales, autobiography and the epic, assessing their relevance to, and modification by, the Caribbean experience.
Caribbean-English Passages opens an innovative and cross-cultural perspective, in which familiar oppositions of colonial/white versus postcolonial/black writing are deconstructed. English identity is thereby questioned by this colonial contact, and Caribbean-English writing radically redraws the map of world literature.
This book is essential reading for students of Postcolonial Literature at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.
