Product Information

In spite of the abundance of academic essays on Caribbean author George Lamming as well as Sandra Paquet's book that discusses Lamming's novels, this text provides the first in-depth analysis of Water with Berries. It explores the purpose of Lamming's novel, which is to re-tell William Shakespeare's The Tempest in order to challenge the play's portrayal of Caliban. De France's monograph offers new insights into Caliban and illuminates George Lamming's main themes, exile and paradox. The rhetorical resonance of Caliban creates a particular view of colonized peoples, which Lamming reconstructs and challenges in Water with Berries and in The Pleasures of Exile. In The Tempest, readers witness Prospero's affront against an ill-fated insurrection by the helpless and out-numbered Caliban and others; however, Lamming retells the story of Caliban's rebellion within the light of hope for freedom and reluctance to submission. De France explores how Lamming's division of Caliban into three characters challenges and expands colonial assumptions.
