Myth And History In Caribbean Fiction: Alejo Carpentier, Wilson Harris, And Edouard Glissant

by Barbara J. Webb

At a time of growing interest in postcolonial writing, this volume offers a comparative study of three major Caribbean Alejo Carpentier, Wilson Harris, and Edouard Glissant. Despite differences of language and background, these writers from Cuba, Guyana and Martinique have much in common. Each has written extensively on the shared heritage of the peoples of the Caribbean and each has been influential in redefining the poetics of the novel in the context of New World culture.
