Postcolonialisms: Caribbean Rereading of Medieval English Discourse

by Barbara Lalla

Postcolonialisms interrogates the place of early English verse in relation to the British canon, proposing that the first postcolonial literature in English was English itself. The enquiry integrates a range of approaches to textual study, drawing together, on the one hand, postcolonial and Caribbean criticism and, on the other, methods of historical and contact linguistics, and applying these within a framework of thought consistent with New Medievalism.
