Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the interplay between British literature and global modernities, this book shifts away from traditional postcolonial narratives. It examines the works of early Black Atlantic authors alongside British literary figures, highlighting their shared engagement with themes of slavery, abolition, and imperialism. By framing their narrative strategies as interconnected, the study redefines notions of national belonging and familial sentiment. It also challenges conventional views on the rise of the novel and middle-class identity through a transnational lens that integrates narrative studies with postcolonial and queer theories.
