Description
In this extensive selection of her literary-critical and translation studies, essays and reviews from 2001 to 2023, English scholar Alena Dvořáková presents an overview and analysis of key works of postcolonial literature written in or considered through English. She examines works by internationally known novelists including J. M. Coetzee, Toni Morrison, Salman Rushdie, V. S. Naipaul, Maryse Condé, Abdulrazak Gurnah and Doris Lessing, as well as stimulating writers and phenomena on the margins of the Anglo-American literary canon, such as Anna Burns and Patrick White. The selection also includes a literary-theoretical afterword devoted to the concept of postcolonialism, outlining Dvořáková’s own understanding of it as a literary phenomenon arising from a unique encounter with literary otherness on postcolonial ground and demanding a suitably or unsuitably free response from the reader. The contents are in Czech.
