dc.subject | The aim of this thesis is to determine the extent to which colonial ideologies influenced Mary Renault’s reinterpretation of Alexander the Great’s life. It also aims to analyse whether Renault’s novels support or oppose Edward Said’s postcolonial theory and the effects colonialism has on modern culture and literature. This thesis will analyse the first two novels of Renault’s trilogy against Said’s postcolonial theory as well as comparisons with other postcolonial literature. | |
