Overview
This book demonstrates the epic genre’s enduring relevance to the Global South. It identifies a contemporary avatar of classical epic, the ‘postcolonial epic’, ushered in by Herman Melville’s Moby Dick, a foundational text of North America, and exemplified by Derek Walcott’s Caribbean masterpiece Omeros and Amitav Ghosh’s South Asian saga, the Ibis trilogy. It focuses on the genre’s potential to articulate post-imperial concerns with nation and migration across the Global North–South. It foregrounds the genre’s postcolonial shifts from politics to political economy, subaltern reconfigurations of capitalist and imperial temporalities, and the preoccupation with language and representation.
