This book, written as a guide to the literature which embraces postcolonial fundamentals, acts both as a criticism text as well as a historical work charting the emergence of post-colonial literature embracing a wide array of writers such as Jean Rhys, V.S. Naipaul, Amitav Ghosh, Joseph Conrad, etc, the book engages in a comprehensive and insightful discussion of the important landmarks in post-colonial English literature, the common themes and motifs, styles, techniques and perspectives, as well as the critical evaluation of these works. In addition, the book also considers the emerging trends and developments in post-colonial works, contextualising them within the criteria of the staple features of post-colonialism, and how they have shaped the emergence of these upcoming developments. It is hoped that the comprehensiveness and insight of this book is appreciated by the readers.
