Jean Rhys Conference Paper Notes and Partial Bibliography: Transnational Culture, Caribbean, Creole and Creolization

Jean Rhys Conference Paper Notes and Partial Bibliography: Transnational Culture, Caribbean, Creole and Creolization


“Geography is fate”
-Heraclitus

Author Profile:
Jean Rhys (1890-1979)

*Born in Roseau, Capital of Dominica. Dominica is an island nation in the lesser Antilles, near Guadeloupe and Martinique .
*Dominica is known for its unspoiled natural beauty.
*Rhys’ father was a Welsh Doctor, and her mother was a third-generation Dominican Creole of Scots ancestry.
*Dominica comes from the Latin word for Sunday, which is the day Columbus spotted the island.
*Dominica was originally inhabited by Island Caribs or Kalinango.
*Place of major importation of African slaves. France had longest influence before losing the island to the British after losing the Seven Years’ War (1754-1763, main conflict was 56-63). Afterward, the island became a British colony, though legislation mainly regarded to the white British subjects (?).

Rhys moved to Britain in 1910, when she was 16.  

*Antillean Creole French is still spoke in some parts today.


THE WORLDING OF JEAN RHYS
*Greenwood Press, Contributions to the Study of World Literature, 1999)  
*Sue Thomas (1955-)
Pg. 1)
*      Rhys sent to England in 1907, her accent needed to be “overcome” for her to be an actor, according to the Academy of Dramatic Art in London. She remained an expat from 16 on, “apart from one short return to Dominica.”
*      Her Creole mother Minna was from the formerly slave-owning Lockhart family, holders of the Geneva estate, described as “decayed.”
*      Rhys, Letters, pg. 172, 1959 letter to Francis Wyndham: “As far as I know I am white—but I have no country really now.”  (Compare this Henry James roughly 60 years before, so wrapped up in nationalism and “national” legacy and elitism and eugenics and other ridiculous ways of biological racism, wanting desperately to be British/European in every way in order to be part of the elite and brutally racist club)
*      Helen Carr, Jean Rhys, xiv, quoted on pg. 1 of Thomas, [“homelessness is the terrain of Rhys’s fiction,”  “dealing as it does with those who belong nowhere, between cultures, between histories.”
