The past century has witnessed the extraordinary flowering of
fiction, poetry and drama from countries previously colonised by
Britain, an output which has changed the map of English literature.
This introduction, from a leading figure in the field, explores a
wide range of Anglophone post-colonial writing from Africa,
Australia, the Caribbean, India, Ireland and Britain. Lyn Innes
compares the ways in which authors shape communal identities and
interrogate the values and representations of peoples in newly
independent nations. Placing its emphasis on literary rather than
theoretical texts, this book offers detailed discussion of many
internationally renowned authors, including James Joyce, Chinua
Achebe, Salman Rushdie, Les Murray and Derek Walcott. It also
includes historical surveys of the main countries discussed, a
glossary, and biographical notes on major authors. Lyn Innes
provides a rich and subtle guide to a vast array of authors and
texts from a wide range of sites.
