520 $aIn her major new study of postcolonial fiction, Judie Newman demonstrates the subversive nature of that fiction, in its refusal to be contained within purely 'literary' bounds, or even within the bounds of discourse. In the postcolonial arena, Jane Eyre walks with the zombie of horror film, Shaw rubs shoulders with the heirs of Tarzan, killer apes roam the pages of Nadine Gordimer, and Imperial Gothic confronts the popular fascination with the serial killer.
