In the Eye of the Storm

In The Eye Of The Storm: Edgar Mittelholzer 1909 2009: Critical Perspectives

by Cox, Juanita (Edt)

In celebration of the 100th anniversary of Edgar Mittelholzer's birth, this wide-ranging collection assembles recent essays on Mittelholzer as a pioneering Caribbean modernist, critical overviews of his published works throughout the past 50 years, and the reflections of his contemporaries such as Frank Collymore, George Lamming, and A. J. Seymour. Biographical accounts of the author's conflicted lifeincluding one by Mittelholzer's widow, Jacqueline Wardprovide an important background to the literature. Arguing for the continuing relevance of his fiction and its place in the Caribbean canon, this comprehensive compilation presents a rewarding exploration of the novelist's life and literary achievement.
