"Shabine's Voyage through Language and History in Derek Walcott's 'The Schooner Flight'"
No full textThis is a close analysis of the long poem "The Schooner Flight" by Derek Walcott. Here the author shows how the poet has started, once more, a dialogue with sources and authors from the past, starting from Beowulf, Bunyan and Coleridge to Poe and Dylan Thomas in order to present the situation of one of the islands (and one of the many possible characters) in an ex-colonised country. Shabine's adventure and sorrow are representative of all the suffering in the Caribbean islands and, in a larger sense, of all the colonised third world territories

Questo breve saggio, che introduce la traduzione in italiano di 13 poesie dello stesso Thoreau, pone in relazione i pensieri del filosofo con alcune teorie e sviluppi della teoria post-coloniale.
