Recenzii
An international collection, featuring many of the experts in the field, which removes Rhys's texts from previous categorizations and takes new transnational and transcultural routes to account for this 'unplaceable' writer. An illuminating reappraisal of her work, of its enduring power and relevance to today's globalized world.
This thoughtfully conceived volume charts Jean Rhys's Caribbean modernism in transcultural passages through England to Europe, especially France, and to Australia and Indonesia, often circuiting back through the Caribbean. Reading Rhys in these extended global contexts reveals new narrative currents within her fiction and creative dialogic responses to it. Transnational Jean Rhys makes a strong case for Rhys as a major literary figure of cosmopolitan origins and influence whose writing continues to inspire the literary, sound, visual and dramatic arts.
Transnational Jean Rhys is an exciting collection of detective work that yields new insights into Jean Rhys and her work. We discover the wide range of international authors and intellectual trends that influenced her writing, the places she wrote about and the writers across the globe who reference her fiction, and the 'lines of transmission' that connected Rhys the author to such disparate productions as neo-Victorian Australian Great House fiction and Caryl Phillips's new bio-fiction of 'Gwendolyn Williams'. At a time of closed borders and categorization of those who may enter and those who may not, thank goodness for a book that starts from the premise that 'placing' Jean Rhys 'is not only impossible, but simply beside the point'. Indeed, a wealth of perspectives develop how her peripatetic transnational horizon impacted her writing and radiated outward to impact on that of other authors. This is a brave and fascinating recontextualization of the author and her stories.
