Conclusions: The Perspective of Living Landscapes""; ""Bibliography"" 330 $aGianluca Delfino?s study is based on the assumption that Wilson Harris?s works as a whole show a remarkable unity of thought rooted in their author?s complex imagination. As a valuable contribution to Caribbean Literature and Philosophy, Harris?s imaginative approach to reality is discussed in relation to the categories of history and time with reference to several novels, from Palace of The Peacock to The Mask of the Beggar, with a special focus on The Infinite Rehearsal, Jonestown and The Dark Jester, spanning more than forty years of his vast literary production, encompassing critical perspectives ranging from African philosophy to Jungian readings through historiography and anthropology. As a result, the cross-cultural quality of Harris?s thought emerges as a healing outcome of the traumatic colonial encounter, bringing together elements of Amerindian, African and European origin in an ongoing dialogue with time, nature, and the psyche. The outcome of an extensive research into Harris?s world, Delfino?s study comes as a contribution to late Hena Maes-Jelinek?s critical enterprise by expanding philosophical and psychological readings, with the addition of anthropological perspectives that appeal to those who were captured by Harris?s intricacy and rescued by Maes-Jelinek?s illuminating interpretations. The attempt at the reconstruction of a unifying frame around Harris?s body of work suggests a new way of looking at one of the Caribbean?s most controversial authors. 410 0$aStudies in English literatures ;$vv. 18. 606 $apsychology 606 $aauthor 606 $a20th century 606 $aInterpretation 606 $aCaribbean literature 606 $aGuyana 606 $acolonialism 606 $a20. century 606 $acriticism 606 $ahistoriography 606 $aanthropology 606 $atext analysis 606 $anovel 606 $aEnglish literature 606 $aphilosophy 606 $aliterature 615 4$apsychology 615 4$aauthor 615 4$a20th century 615 4$aInterpretation 615 4$aCaribbean literature 615 4$aGuyana 615 4$acolonialism 615 4$a20. century 615 4$acriticism 615 4$ahistoriography 615 4$aanthropology 615 4$atext analysis 615 4$anovel 615 4$aEnglish literature 615 4$aphilosophy 615 4$aliterature 676 $a813 700 $aDelfino$b Gianluca$4aut$01621626 702 $aMelikoglu$b Koray$4edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910953561503321 996 $aTime, history, and philosophy in the works of Wilson Harris$93955024 997 $aUNINA
