This series examines how Postcolonial Studies reconfigures the major periods and areas of literature. The books relate key literary and cultural texts both to their historical and geographical contexts, and to contemporary issues of neo-colonialism and global inequality. Each volume provides a comprehensive survey of the existing field of scholarship and debate, and is also an original intervention in its own right. Each book includes: A time line; An introductory literature survey; Discussion of critical, theoretical, historical and political debates; Exemplary critical readings of literary texts; A carefully selected list of further reading.

Provides a fresh account of modernist writing in a perspective based on the reading strategies developed by postcolonial studies. In this book, the basic argument is that neither modernity nor colonalism (and likewise, neither postmodernity nor postcoloniality) can be properly understood without recognition of their intertwined development.
