Challenging ruptures: testimonial insurgencies, spectral witnesses -- Compelled confessions and forced attachments in Joseph Conrad's Under Western eyes and "Poland revisited" -- Traumas of nation and narrative: legal and literary witnessing in Rebecca West's wartime writings -- Vindicating the law: H. G. de Llisser, V. S. Reid, and the Morant Bay Rebellion -- Testimony and the crisis of the juridical order in Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o's A grain of wheat.
520 3 ⊔ ‡aThis book examines testimony in the works of Rebecca West, Joseph Conrad, E.M. Forster, H.G. de Lisser, V.S Reid, and Ngũgi wa Thiong’o, and argues that disruptions to imperial and national power and the legal and legal responses they inspired shape the formal practices of modernist and Anglophone literature. This title was made Open Access by libraries from around the world through Knowledge Unlatched.
520 3 ⊔ ‡bDuring the second half of the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth, insurgencies erupted in imperial states and colonies around the world, including Britain’s. As Nicole Rizzuto shows, the writings of Ukrainian-born Joseph Conrad, Anglo-Irish Rebecca West, Jamaicans H. G. de Lisser and V. S. Reid, and Kenyan Ng gi wa Thiong’o testify to contested events in colonial modernity in ways that question premises underlying approaches in trauma and memory studies and invite us to reassess divisions and classifications in literary studies that generate such categories as modernist, colonial, postcolonial, national, and world literatures. Departing from tenets of modernist studies and from methods in the field of trauma and memory studies, Rizzuto contends that acute as well as chronic disruptions to imperial and national power and the legal and extra-legal responses they inspired shape the formal practices of literatures from the modernist, colonial, and postcolonial periods.
