S. Naipaul and Wilson Harris, as well as those of a younger generation of writers such as David Dabydeen, Grace Nichols and Amryl Johnson. The result is a new view of the close intertextual relationship between English and Caribbean writing.  \nDöring uses Postcolonialism as a critical arena to examine and question the traditional genres of travel writing, nature poetry, adventure tales, autobiography and the epic, assessing their relevance to, and modification by, the Caribbean experience.  \nCaribbean–English Passages opens an innovative and cross-cultural perspective, in which familiar oppositions of colonial/white versus postcolonial/black writing are deconstructed. English identity is thereby questioned in this colonial contact zone, and Caribbean–English writing radically redraws the map of world literature.  \nThis book should be essential reading for students of Postcolonial Literature at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.  \nTobias Döring is Lecturer in Literature and Cultural Studies at the Freie Universität, Berlin.  \nContents  \nList of figures viii  \nAcknowledgements ix  \nAbbreviations xi  \nIntroduction: Caribbean–English passages: intertextualityin a postcolonial tradition 1  \n1 Rough passages: travel and its discontents 21  \n2 Sugar cane poetics: planting the arts into a creole landscape 49  \n3 The ‘Congo’ in the Caribbean: cartographies of  \nexploration 79  \n4 Remapping the mother country: life-writing and parabiography 109  \n5 Turning the colonial gaze: Caribbean–English ekphrasis 137  \n6 Writing across the meridian: epic echoes in Derek Walcott’s Omeros 169  \nConclusion: Caribbean–English passages: from the  \ntopologies to the locations of culture 203  \nNotes 210  \nBibliography 218  \nIndex 231  \nFigures  \n1 ‘Waiting for the Races’, in Charles Kingsley (1890) At Last.

Over the many years that I have, in some way or another, been concerned with versions of this project, I have received help, stimulation, warning and encouragement from more people than I can acknowledge here.  \nThis book is a revised version of a thesis, which I completed at the Freie Universität Berlin in 1999. My first thanks, therefore, go to my teachers and colleagues at the Institut für Englische Philologie, especially Klaus Peter Steiger and Manfred Pfister, who have fostered and critically shaped my interest in English, Caribbean and postcolonial writing. Klaus Peter Steiger has not only seen the project through periods of enthusiasm and, at times, frustration, his unfailing hospitality has also given me the opportunity to do research in London in a most congenial atmosphere. Some of the early drafts of chapters were first presented in Pfister’s Berlin seminar‘Work in Progress’ and so I owe a great deal to the responses of my friends and colleagues in this group: Ute Berns, Elfi Bettinger, Renate Brosch, Indira Ghose, Andrew","cbCaihXRHb1FJBVh","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihXRHb1FJBVh","pdf",4027679,244,"English","# Introduction: Caribbean–English passages: intertextuality in a postcolonial tradition\n# Rough passages: travel and its discontents\n# Sugar cane poetics: planting the arts into a creole landscape\n# The ‘Congo’ in the Caribbean: cartographies of exploration\n# Remapping the mother country: life-writing and parabiography\n# Turning the colonial gaze: Caribbean–English ekphrasis\n# Writing across the meridian: epic echoes in Derek Walcott’s Omeros\n# Conclusion: Caribbean–English passages: from the topologies to the locations of culture\n# Notes\n# Bibliography\n# Index","[{\"question\":\"Which authors does Caribbean–English Passages analyze?\",\"answer\":\"The book offers close readings of Derek Walcott, V.
