Written by Paul Sharrad, professor of English at Wollongong
University, Australia, this book is the successful outcome of a
difficult feat it represents an interesting new approach to a
well-trodden field of study. In this collection of essays, the
author revisits certain issues within the distinctive frames of
each essay. Of particular interest is the way the author is
continually mindful of how postcolonial studies might be
reconceptualised an approach that many critics of note have taken
in recent years, especially Neil Lazarus, Reed Dasenbrock, and Bart
Moore-Gilbert, in different ways. This author s way is, in part, to
reconsider postcolonial literary history against ideas of History
as a dominant epistemology. Another refreshing take here too is the
way in which the theoretical positions are meaningfully explored in
the context of imaginative literary texts; the book brings together
the best scholarly qualities of close reading and a sophisticated
and nuanced understanding of theory and the history that cloaks
everything. This book is a very significant contribution to
postcolonial studies and advances the ever more richly complicated
discourse that has emerged in the field.
