Description

Explore the literary legacy of Nobel laureate Derek Walcott in this academic study from Bloomsbury. The book examines how Walcott engaged with the literature and cultures of ancient Greece and Rome to build a unique connection between the Mediterranean and the modern Caribbean. While his poem Omeros is a famous example of recasting the epics of Homer, Virgil, and Dante within the setting of St Lucia, this work looks deeper into his lifelong dialogue between Europe and the Caribbean. It investigates how Walcott used these ancient influences to refute ideas about engaging with literature from other cultures, creating a complex discourse that bridges two different worlds.
