It first traces the development of magical realism from its origins in European painting to its appropriation into literature by European and Latin American writers. It then explores contested definitions of magical realism and the critical questions surrounding them and analyzes the relationship between the paradigmatic turn in postcolonial literatures and the concomitant rise of magical realism in Third World countries.","brand":"Taner Can","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42980508893302,"sku":"9783838207544","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/1374\/6550\/files\/CoreSourceHub_98831443-05c2-4d6e-afbd-a3f27874b161.jpg?v=1768561198","url":"https:\/\/ingramacademic.com\/products\/magical-realism-in-postcolonial-british-fiction-9783838207544","provider":"Ingram Academic \u0026 Professional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
