Postcolonial Con-texts

In Recent Years Works Such As Jean Rhyss Wide Sargasso Sea, J.m. Coetzees Foe And Peter Careys Jack Maggs, Which 'write Back' To Classic English Texts, Have Attracted Considerable Attention As Offering A Paradigm For The Relationship Between Post-colonial Writing And The 'canon'. Thiemes Study Provides A Broad Overview Of Such Writing, Focusing Both On Responses To Texts That Have Frequently Been Associated With The Colonial Project Or The Construction Of 'race' (the Tempest, Robinson Crusoe, Heart Of Darkness And Othello) And Texts Where The Interaction Between Culture And Imperialism Is Slightly Less Overt (great Expectations, Jane Eyre And Wuthering Heights).
