Description
Wilson Harris is one of the outstanding literary innovators of the century. Nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature four times, his novels date from "The Palace of the Peacock" to "Jonestown." This long-awaited volume matches Harris's career with his critical writings, from 1961 to the present day. "The Selected Essays of Wilson Harris" brings together twenty-one lectures, addresses and essays to make available Harris's full range of writings. His concerns include the literate imagination, traditions of myth and fable in Central and South America, the North American literary imagination, and the inheritances and legacies of writers of the postcolonial diaspora. This comprehensive collection also comes complete with an extensive editorial introduction, providing valuable historical and theoretical context for the essays, a map of Guyana, bibliographies of Harris's fiction and non-fiction, and appendices on the legends of El Dorado and the Holy Grail.
