Böcker av Celia Britton

In this study, Britton looks a the different ways in which Freudian psychoanalysis has been incorporated into arguments about racial identity and difference in the French Caribbean.

The Nouveau Roman writers have been actively involved in the theory as well as the practice of fiction, participating in a series of vigorous debates on issues such as the political significance of literature, formalism and structuralism, the status of the author, etc.

This is a major study of the Nobel prize-winning French novelist Claude Simon. Simon is a complex figure: for all that he writes in a distinctively modern fictional tradition (exemplified by Proust, Joyce, Beckett and Robbe-Grillet), his novels contain strong elements of visual representation alongside a very different king of free-floating, anti-realist writing.

Part of the "Modern Literatures in Perspective" series, this text considers the work of Claude Simon. The first part provides contemporary reactions and reviews of Simon's work and the second part consists of critical readings of his work.
