This volume investigates the frameworks that can be applied to
reading Caribbean author Jean Rhys. While Wide Sargasso Sea
famously displays overt forms of literary influences, Jean Rhys’s
entire oeuvre is so fraught with connections to other texts and
textual practices across geographical boundaries that her
classification as a cosmopolitan modernist writer is due for
reassessment. Transnational Jean Rhys argues against the relative
isolationism that is sometimes associated with Rhys's writing by
demonstrating both how she was influenced by a wide range of
foreign – especially French – authors and how her influence was
in turn disseminated in myriad directions. Including an interview
with Black Atlantic novelist Caryl Phillips, this collection charts
new territories in the influences on/of an author known for her
dislike of literary coteries, but whose literary communality has
been underestimated.
