Jean Rhys, original name Ella Gwendolen Rees Williams, (born August 24, 1890, Roseau, Dominica, Windward Islands, West Indies—died May 14, 1979, Exeter, Devon, England), West Indian novelist who earned acclaim for her early works set in the bohemian world of Europe in the 1920s and ’30s but who stopped writing for nearly three decades, until she wrote a successful novel set in the West Indies. ean Rhys has long been central to debates in feminist, modernist, Caribbean, British and postcolonial writing. Elaine Savory's study, which incorporates and modifies previous critical approaches, is a critical reading of Rhys's entire oeuvre, including the stories and autobiography, and is informed by Rhys's own manuscripts. Designed both for the serious scholar on Rhys and those unfamiliar with her writing, Savory's book insists on the importance of a Caribbean-centred approach to Rhys, and shows how this context profoundly affects her literary style. Informed by contemporary arguments on race, gender, class and nationality, Savory explores Rhys's stylistic innovations - her use of colours, her exploitation of the trope of performance, her experiments with creative non-fiction and her incorporation of the metaphysical into her texts. This study offers a comprehensive account of the life and work of this most complex and enigmatic of writers.
Written over the course of twenty-one years and published in 1966, Wide Sargasso Sea, based on Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre, takes place in Jamaica and Dominica in 1839–45. Textual notes illuminate the novel’s historical background, regional references, and the non-translated Creole and French phrases necessary to fully understand this powerful story. Backgrounds includes a wealth of material on the novel’s long evolution, it connections to Jane Eyre, and Rhys’s biographical impressions of growing up in Dominica. Criticism introduces readers to the critical debates inspired by the novel with a Derek Walcott poem and eleven essays.
Jean Rhys 's reputation was made upon the publication of this passionate and heartbreaking novel, in which she brings into the light one of fiction's most mysterious characters: the madwoman in the attic from Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre. A sensual and protected young woman, Antoinette Cosway grows upin the lush natural world of the Caribbean. She is sold intomarriage to the coldhearted and prideful Rochester, who succumbsto his need for money and his lust. Yet he will make her pay forher ancestors' sins of slaveholding, excessive drinking, and nihilistic despair by enslaving her as a prisoner in his bleak English home. In this best-selling novel Rhys portrays a society so driven by hatred, so skewed in its sexual relations, that it can literally drive a woman out of her mind.
I should have given a 5 but due to the horrible translation presented.... honestly I hate Jane Eyre for its both realistic and fantasy. But IT IS these features that also presented in this book attracts me. I read it about three years ago so I don't really...
评分不做标题党,因为此书本身并不吸引我,高中时的闲暇佐料,甚至不能满足我的基本温饱~ 写评语是因为发现看过这本书的人少到个位数,出于半吊子的自豪感,来抹个字~ 给的评价是在豆瓣的第一个四星,或者我们都比较苛刻,对那些不在正统路上的都不给正眼。 我不知道作者构思写作...

评分这本诞生在《简·爱》之后的书是前篇故事,讲述的是被幽禁在顶楼的疯女的故事。有家族的精神病史,前半生在印度过着寄人篱下的日子,继父的疼爱使她有了一笔丰厚的嫁妆,婚后的生活变成了灾难的开始。书中的罗切斯特不是个正人君子,妻子发疯他有不可推卸的责任。
晚上读时觉得后背凉飕飕的,作者应该是很擅长制造气氛吧!悲剧到底是谁造成的呢?社会中一个阶级的陨落?无信任基础的婚姻?文化差异?流言妒忌虚荣?跟着这本书在阳光明媚的加勒比海岛国间阴暗,看陷入无比藻海里的人。
评分没读完就讨论/剧透了。还好吧。写得很精致+构思精巧,但不是很有意思...而且缺乏感情上的认同。缺点诗意⋯⋯
评分Wide sea of Darkness
评分很悠远的一个梦
评分发不出声音的悲哀。
