Wide Sargasso Sea, a masterpiece of modern fiction, was Jean Rhys’s return to the literary center stage. She had a startling early career and was known for her extraordinary prose and haunting women characters. With Wide Sargasso Sea, her last and best-selling novel, she ingeniously brings into light one of fiction’s most fascinating characters: the madwoman in the attic from Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre. This mesmerizing work introduces us to Antoinette Cosway, a sensual and protected young woman who is sold into marriage to the prideful Mr. Rochester. Rhys portrays Cosway amidst a society so driven by hatred, so skewed in its sexual relations, that it can literally drive a woman out of her mind.
A new introduction by the award-winning Edwidge Danticat, author most recently of Claire of the Sea Light, expresses the enduring importance of this work. Drawing on her own Caribbean background, she illuminates the setting’s impact on Rhys and her astonishing work.
Jean Rhys (originally Ella Gwendolen Rees Williams) was a Caribbean novelist who wrote in the mid 20th century. Her first four novels were published during the 1920s and 1930s, but it was not until the publication of Wide Sargasso Sea in 1966 that she emerged as a significant literary figure. A "prequel" to Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre, Wide Sargasso Sea won a prestigious WH Smith Literary Award in 1967.
Rhys was born in Dominica (a formerly British island in the Caribbean) to a Welsh father and Scottish mother. She moved to England at the age of sixteen, where she worked unsuccessfully as a chorus girl. In the 1920s, she relocated to Europe, travelling as a Bohemian artist and taking up residence sporadically in Paris. During this period, Rhys lived in near poverty, while familiarising herself with modern art and literature, and acquiring the alcoholism that would persist throughout the rest of her life. Her experience of a patriarchal society and feelings of displacement during this period would form some of the most important themes in her work.
the curtain unveiled her bare heart waiting redemption. a clue of slavery to the tragedy. ultimately to whom she owe her identity?
评分为考试而扫读。简爱的同人小说。其实我觉得要仔细读说不定是本好书。
评分Jean Rhys的文字简洁而生动,比中文版更有感觉一些。对于后殖民时代的加勒比这一历史背景的处理也很赞。说来理查德箭头史密斯先生的品味真是诡异(爆)。
评分慘烈的後殖民paradox是,沒有 Jane Eyre 這本小說什麼都不是

评分 评分 评分有多少人对简爱追求幸福的苦难历程上的那个障碍——疯女人有丝毫同情的,恐怕为数不多。在《简爱》中对她的描述共有5处,作者夏洛蒂勃朗特无一处使用褒笔,她通过简爱的眼睛和耳朵描写了疯女人“魔鬼的笑声”、“野兽般的嗥叫”、“蓬乱地似马鬃的头发”,又借罗切斯特的口...
