Produktbeschreibung
In spite of the abundance of academic essays on Caribbean author George Lamming as well as Sandra Paquet s book that discusses Lamming s novels, this text provides the first in-depth analysis of Water with Berries. It explores the purpose of Lamming s novel, which is to re-tell William Shakespeare s The Tempest in order to challenge the play s portrayal of Caliban. De France s monograph offers new insights into Caliban and illuminates George Lamming s main themes, exile and paradox. The rhetorical resonance of Caliban creates a particular view of colonized peoples, which Lamming reconstructs and challenges in Water with Berries and in The Pleasures of Exile. In The Tempest, readers witness Prospero s affront against an ill-fated insurrection by the helpless and out-numbered Caliban and others; however, Lamming retells the story of Caliban s rebellion within the light of hope for freedom and reluctance to submission. De France explores how Lamming s division of Caliban into three characters challenges and expands colonial assumptions.
