Madness in Anglophone Caribbean Literature: On the Edge
Editat de Bénédicte Ledent, Evelyn O'Callaghan, Daria Tuncaen Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 dec 2019
This
collection
takes
as
its
starting
point
the
ubiquitous
representation
of
various
forms
of
mental
illness,
breakdown
and
psychopathology
in
Caribbean
writing,
and
the
fact
that
this
topic
has
been
relatively
neglected
in
criticism,
especially
in
Anglophone
texts,
apart
from
the
scholarship
devoted
to
Jean
Rhys’s Wide
Sargasso
Sea(1966). The
contributions
to
this
volume
demonstrate
that
much
remains
to
be
done
in
rethinking
the
trope
of
“madness”
across
Caribbean
literature
by
local
and
diaspora
writers.
This
book
asks
how
focusing
on
literary
manifestations
of
apparent
mental
aberration
can
extend
our
understanding
of
Caribbean
narrative
and
culture,
and
can
help
us
to
interrogate
the
norms
that
have
been
used
to
categorize
art
from
the
region,
as
well
as
the
boundaries
between
notions
of
rationality,
transcendence
and
insanity
across
cultures.
