Derek Walcott - Dramatist (Paperback)

A study of Caribbean literary Nobel laurete Derek Walcott's work as a playwright. This aspect of Walcott's literary output is typically neglected as his work as a poet is normally stressed. Author Viola Davis originally wrote the book for her doctoral thesis at the University of the West Indies. This is Davis' second book on Caribbean literature. Her first, "The Creative Use of Schizophrenia in Caribbean Writing" examine the works of Walcott, VS Naipaul, Wilson Harris and Edward "Kamau" Brathwaite.
