A Karib-térség angol nyelvű regényirodalmának korai szakasza. Trinidad és Barbados
The Early English-language Fiction in the Caribbean: Trinidad and Barbados

Summary/Abstract: To escape the restraints of a colonial society many Caribbean authors in the years of an evolving West Indian literature had to leave their native island for opportunities in the wider colonial world or the metropolis. This experience finds a voice in a number of novels: in novels of childhood characteristically ending with the main character leaving the Caribbean for further studies. Our article discusses works from this perspective by Michael Anthony (The Year in San Fernando), Geoffrey Drayton (Christopher), George Lamming (In the Castle of My Skin) and Austin Clarke (Among Thistles and Thorns and Growing Up Stupid).
