  • Publisher: BRILL

This comparative study investigates the epic lineage that can be traced back from Derek Walcott’s Omeros and Ezra Pound’s Cantos through Dante’s Divina Commedia to the epic poems of Virgil and Homer, and identifies and discusses in detail a number of recurrent key topoi. A fresh definition of the concept of genre is worked out and presented, based on readings of Homer.

Cultural Politics in Derek Walcott’s Prose and Poetry

This book offers a new reading of the Caribbean Nobel Laureate Derek Walcott, by not only focusing on his totally neglected essays, but also introducing him as a postcolonial theoretician. Probing into Walcott’s writings, the study singles out a set of concepts that parallel, support and sometimes precedes most of the seminal views in postcolonial theory. Wedding theory to practice, the book takes the reader on a scholarly trip whereby Walcott’s theoretical views are applied on his poems.
