Literary Research and Postcolonial Literatures in English

Strategies and Sources

By: H. Faye Christenberry,Angela Courtney,Liorah Golomb,Melissa S. Van Vuuren

Postcolonial literatures can be defined as the body of creative work written by authors whose lands were formerly subjugated to colonial rule. In previous volumes of this series, the research literature of former British colonies Australia, Canada, Ireland, and New Zealand have been addressed. This volume offers guidance for those researching the postcolonial literature of the former British colonies in Africa, the Caribbean, and South Asia. Among the forty nations represented in this volume are South Africa, India, Pakistan, Ghana, Jamaica, Swaziland, Belize, and Namibia. With the exception of South Africa (which formed the Union of South Africa in 1910), this guide picks up its coverage in 1947, when both India and Pakistan gained their independence. The literature created by writers from these nations represents the diverse experiences in the postcolonial condition and are the subject of this book. The volume provides best-practice suggestions for the research process and discusses how to take advantage of primary text resources in a variety of formats, both digital and paper based: bibliographies, indexes, research guides, archives, special collections, and microforms.

The diverse literatures of Victorian and Edwardian Britain have provided a wealth of research material for novice and expert researchers alike. While many of the novels, plays, poetry, and prose from the Victorian and Edwardian ages are still readily availabe, a vast amount of literature is no longer in print. Recent efforts in digitization---the Victorian Women Writers Project; English Literary Periodicals, 1681-1914; Early British Periodicals, 1681-1921; 19th Century British Library Newspapers; 19th Century U.K. Periodicals; Times Digital Archives; Victorian Popular Culture; and even Google Books---have helped to make many texts of these periods more widely accessible. Literary Research and the Victorian and Edwardian Ages, 1850-1910 describes traditional and contemporary resources for researching these eras of British literature and how the resources can be used in conjunction with one another. Helping readers navigate reference materials and issues particular to the literature of the time, this book serves as an essential guide for librarians, professors, graduate students, undergraduate students, and independent scholars alike.
