THE POSTCOLONIAL EPIC
This book demonstrates the epic genre’s enduring relevance to the Global
South. It identifies a contemporary avatar o f classical epic, the ‘postcolonial
epic’ , ushered in by Herman Melville’s
, a foundational text o f
North America, and exemplified by Derek Walcott’s Caribbean masterpiece
Omerosand Amitav Ghosh’s South Asian saga, the Ibis trilogy.
The work focuses on the epic genre’s rich potential to articulate post
imperial concerns with nation andmigration across the Global North/South
divide. It foregrounds postcolonial developments in the genre including
a shift from politics to political economy, subaltern reconfigurations o f
capitalist and imperial temporalities, and the poststructuralist preoccupation
with language and representation. In addition to bringing to light hitherto
unexamined North/South affiliations between Melville, Walcott and
Ghosh, the book proposes a fresh approach to epic through the comparative
concept of ‘political epic’, where an avowed national politics promoting
a culture’s ‘pure’ origins coexists uneasily with a disavowed poetics o f
intertextual borrowing from ‘other’ cultures.
An important intervention in literary studies, this volume will interest
scholars and researchers o f postcolonial studies, especially South Asian
and Caribbean literature, Global South studies, transnational studies and
cultural studies.
