Emery, Mary Lou, Rhys, Jean
By far the most comprehensive feminist critical study on Rhys to date is Mary Lou Emery's . . . useful for its many insights into particular moments of historical resonance in Rhys's fiction . . . --Jean Rhys Review Emery's careful unraveling of the interconnections of colonial and sexual exile is a valuable contribution to feminist scholarship on Rhys. --Signs Tense oppositions in Caribbean culture supply powerful themes and spark complex narrative experiments in the fiction of Dominican-born novelist Jean Rhys. In this pathfinding study, Mary Lou Emery focuses on Rhys's handling of these oppositions, using a Caribbean cultural perspective to replace the mainly European standards that have served to misread and sometimes devalue Rhys's writing.
