As England withdrew from its empire after World War II, how did writers living outside the United Kingdom respond to the history of colonialism and the aesthetics of modernism within a global context? In fourteen original essays, a distinguished group of scholars considers these questions in relation to novelists, playwrights, and poets living in English-speaking countries around the world.
This brilliant collection unpacks the complexities of the interconnection of modernism, postcolonialism, and globalism.
