AFRS 277 - Sea-Changes: Caribbean Rewritings of the British Canon


1 unit(s)
(Same as ENGL 277 ) From William Shakespeare’s The Tempest to James Joyce’s Ulysses, the classic texts of the British literary canon have served as points of departure for Caribbean writers seeking to establish a dialogue between a colonial literary tradition and post-colonial national literatures. This course addresses the many re-writings of British texts by Caribbean authors from Roberto Fernandez Retamar’s Caliban to Jamaica Kincaid’s The Autobiography of My Mother. Texts may include Jean Rhys’s Wide Sargasso Sea, V.S. Naipaul’s Guerillas, Micelle Michelle Cliff’s Abeng and No Telephone to Heaven, Maryse Conde’s Windward Heights, and Riosario Ferre’s Sweet Diamond Dust. Ms. Yow.

Not offered in 2013/14.
