While the critics in this volume demonstrate how such texts constructed and perpetuated the \"fact\" of superior British culture and civilization, they also apply to their literary interpretation a Caribbean experience of challenges associated with nation building and identity formation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePostscripts\u003c\/i\u003e follows Barbara Lalla's \u003ci\u003ePostcolonialisms\u003c\/i\u003e, which offered Caribbean rereadings of English medieval verse.
