Elaine Savory’s study, which incorporates and goes beyond previous critical approaches, is a critical reading of Rhys’s entire oeuvre, including the stories and autobiography, and is informed by recently released unpublished manuscripts by Rhys. Designed both for the serious scholar and those unfamiliar with her writing, Savory’s book insists on the importance of a Caribbean-centred approach to Rhys, and shows how this context profoundly affects her literary style. Informed by contemporary arguments on race, gender, class and nationality, Savory explores Rhys’s stylistic innovations – her use of colours, her exploitation of the trope of performance, her experiments with creative non-fiction, her use of humour and her incorporation of the metaphysical into her texts. This study offers a comprehensive account of the life and work of this most complex and enigmatic of writers.  \nElaine Savory teaches at the New School for Social Research in New York. She has written extensively on African and Caribbean literatures, especially women’s writing. She is co-editor of Out of Kumbla: Caribbean Women and Literature.  \ncambridge studies in african and caribbean literature  \nSeries editor: Professor Abiola Irele, Ohio State University  \nEach volume in this unique series of critical studies will offer a comprehensive and in-depth account of the whole œuvre of one individual writer from Africa or the Caribbean, in such a way that the book may be considered a complete coverage of the writer’s expression up to the time the study is undertaken. Attention will be devoted primarily to the works themselves – their significant themes, governing ideas and formal procedures; biographical and other background information will thus be employed secondarily, to illuminate these aspects of the writer’s work where necessary.  \nThe emergence in the twentieth century of black literature in the United States, the Caribbean and Africa as a distinct corpus of imaginative work represents one of the most notable developments in world literature in modern times. This series has been established to meet the needs of this growing area of study. It is hoped that it will not only contribute to a wider understanding of the humanistic significance of modern literature from Africa and the Caribbean through the scholarly presentation of the work of the major writers, but also offer a wider framework for the ongoing debates about the problems of interpretation within the disciplines concerned.  \nAlready published  \nChinua Achebe, by C.
