Pelagic Tar from Bermuda and the Sargasso Sea
Pelagic tar lumps have been observed at sea in the Atlantic Ocean since about 1968, and have been quantitatively surveyed since 1970. Their highest concentration is in the Sargasso Sea. Although there are irregular seasonal variations of a factor of 10, the average amount observed near Bermuda has not increased significantly from 1971 to 1972. Chemical characteristics of tar lumps (as determined by gas chromatography) vary widely, but many have distinctive inclusions of paraffinic wax in the C30 to C40 range, implying that their origin is in crude oil sludge from tanker washings. Appendices contain historical notes, original chromatograms, and detailed survey data. (Modified author abstract).

The Cambridge Introduction to Jean Rhys
Since her death in 1979, Jean Rhys's reputation as an important modernist author has grown. Her finely crafted prose fiction lends itself to multiple interpretations from radically different critical perspectives; formalism, feminism, and postcolonial studies among them. This Introduction offers a reliable and stimulating account of her life, work, contexts and critical reception. Her masterpiece, Wide Sargasso Sea, is analyzed together with her other novels, including Quartet and After Leaving Mr Mackenzie, and her short stories. Through close readings of the works, Elaine Savory reveals their common themes and connects these to different critical approaches. The book maps Rhys's fictional use of the actual geography of Paris, London and the Caribbean, showing how key understanding her relationships with the metropolitan and colonial spheres is to reading her texts. In this invaluable introduction for students, Savory explains the significance of Rhys as a writer both in her lifetime and today.
Wide Sargasso Sea at 50
This book revisits Jean Rhys’s ground-breaking 1966 novel to explore its cultural and artistic influence in the areas of not only literature and literary criticism, but fashion design, visual art, and the theatre as well. Building on symposia that were held in London and New York in 2016 in honour of the novel’s half-century, this collection demonstrates just how timely Rhys’s insights into colonial history, sexual relations, and aesthetics continue to be. The chapters include an extensive interview with novelist Caryl Phillips, who in 2018 published a novel about Rhys’s life, an account of how Wide Sargasso Sea can be read through the lens of the #MeToo Movement, a clothing line inspired by the novel, and new critical directions. As both a celebration and scholarly evaluation, the collection shows how enduring Rhys’s novel is in its continuing literary influence and social commentary.
