Rita Singer<p>The fourth article is<br>“A language of wet stones and mists”: The Caribbean Poet as a Traveller in Wales and England<br>by Marija Bergam Pellicani</p><p>Abstract<br>This article examines Derek Walcott’s “travel poems” about Wales and England from the collections The Fortunate Traveller (1981) and Midsummer (1984) through the prism of Deleuze and Guattari’s concept of littérature mineure. [...] In their engagement with the Welsh and English “Elsewhere” these poems ultimately participate in transvaluation of the relationship between centre and periphery, a dynamics that marked the most significant Anglophone literary currents in the second part of the twentieth century.</p><p><a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/TravelWriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TravelWriting</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Wales" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wales</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/England" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>England</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Caribbean" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Caribbean</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/DerekWalcott" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DerekWalcott</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/ModernLanguages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ModernLanguages</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Poetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Poetry</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/OpenAccess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenAccess</span></a></p><p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/histodons" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>histodons</span></a></span> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/academicchatter" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>academicchatter</span></a></span> <br><a href="https://modernlanguagesopen.org/articles/10.3828/mlo.v0i0.198" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">modernlanguagesopen.org/articl</span><span class="invisible">es/10.3828/mlo.v0i0.198</span></a></p>
