This book revisits Jean Rhys's ground-breaking 1966 novel to
explore its cultural and artistic influence in the areas of not
only literature and literary criticism, but fashion design, visual
art, and the theatre as well. Building on symposia that were held
in London and New York in 2016 in honour of the novel's
half-century, this collection demonstrates just how timely Rhys's
insights into colonial history, sexual relations, and aesthetics
continue to be. The chapters include an extensive interview with
novelist Caryl Phillips, who in 2018 published a novel about Rhys's
life, an account of how Wide Sargasso Sea can be read through the
lens of the #MeToo Movement, a clothing line inspired by the novel,
and new critical directions. As both a celebration and scholarly
evaluation, the collection shows how enduring Rhys's novel is in
its continuing literary influence and social commentary.
