"She is a Creole girl and she have the sun in her." What does Creole imply in postcolonial narratives that respond to canonical Victorian novels? Wide Sargasso Sea (1966) by Jean Rhys flips a series of discourses from identity politics to questions of power. The novel revolves around a Carribean woman who was originally a marginal character in Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre (1847). The seminar will focus on strategies of close reading, narratological methods, gendered perspectives on madness as well as critical theories of reception and intersections with early postcolonialism.
