Hena Maes-Jelinek has been one of the sharpest critical minds at work on the old continent
in the field of the New Literatures in English. She has played a pioneering role in
spreading interest in post-colonial literatures and studies in Europe and beyond;
and her name remains notably associated with the work of Wilson Harris, which
nobody seems to have better understood and explained. This volume ranges widely
over areas that Hena has discovered and explored throughout her career as teacher,
editor, and critic.
