| | MELUS: Jamaica Kincaid and the Canon: In Dialogue With "Paradise Lost" and "Jane Eyre." - West Indian writer; British ... |
 | | Kincaid's relation to the paradise lost theme and Milton's work in particular is complex. | | | Sometimes the canonical works of English literature were administered as punishment; for her schoolgirl crimes Kincaid was forced to copy large chunks of John Milton's Paradise Lost. | | | For Kincaid, immersed in the English classics, in a world where, she has said, "everything seemed divine and good only if it was English" (Cudjoe 398), the requirement was to be as English as possible: "... |

| | Jamaica Kincaid Bio |
| | Kincaid's tight, lyrical prose guides the reader through her tortured recollections of her mother, as that relationship takes on the dual gravity of mother-daughter relationships that many readers can relate to as well as of the hegemonic interactions between mother country (here England) and daughter island (Antigua). | | | Kincaid's status as an exile informs so much of her writing. | | | But no discussion, no matter how brief, can be complete without mention of the central relationship in Kincaid's life--that with her mother. |

| | SALON Features Jamaica Kincaid |
| | In her precise, elegant British West Indies accent, Kincaid spoke freely about her life and work, notably her recent decision to quit her longtime position as a staff writer for The New Yorker -- which she now describes as "a version of People magazine" -- and her relationship with Tina Brown. | | | Kincaid's new novel, "The Autobiography of My Mother" (Farrar, Straus & Giroux), may be her most accomplished yet. | | | (At birth, Kincaid's own given name was Elaine Potter Richardson.) Most notably, the book is a striking portrait of a Xuela's struggle, as a young woman, to find her own language and identity in the face of an uncaring father, a country wracked by colonialism, and a mother she never knew. |

| | Jamaica Kincaid, Merle Hodge, George Lamming |
| | The novels of Kincaid, Hodge, and Lamming reflect the seeping in of the European civilization through the veins of the children growing up in the Antilles and receiving European education in schools. | | | Kincaid, on her visit to England felt like a stranger visiting distant shores and Lucy, her character, has the same feelings: | | | In these novels we find a gradual moving away of the protagonists to their 'promised land' by virtue of their educational excellence but 'quo vadis?' The roads are not laden with manna and what lies before them is nothing short of gross disappointment, they arrive in a strange land where they are denied acceptance. |
