While \u003ci\u003eWide Sargasso Sea\u003c\/i\u003e famously displays overt forms of literary influences, Jean Rhys's entire oeuvre is so fraught with connections to other texts and textual practices across geographical boundaries that her classification as a cosmopolitan modernist writer is due for reassessment. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eTransnational Jean Rhys\u003c\/i\u003e argues against the relative isolationism that is sometimes associated with Rhys's writing by demonstrating both how she was influenced by a wide range of foreign - especially French - authors and how her influence was in turn disseminated in myriad directions. Including an interview with Black Atlantic novelist Caryl Phillips, this collection charts new territories in the influences on\/of an author known for her dislike of literary coteries, but whose literary communality has been underestimated.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48833552580813,"sku":"9781501371653","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/1529\/9533\/files\/imageloader_56141351-ff3c-4fc6-ac9f-bdc26d1192cb.jpg?v=1790888558","url":"https:\/\/booksatmidnight.com\/products\/transnational-jean-rhys","provider":"Books At Midnight","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
