| Description | This article examines how in four of Jane Rogers's recent novels the historical perspective and the narrative voices within it co-exist and contribute towards creating a specific novel category or sub-genre. In this light Mr. Wroe's Virgins (1991) could be described as historical fiction or fictional biography, the award-winning Promised Lands (1995) and The Voyage Home (2004)fit the postcolonial novel pattern, while the opening of Island (1999) could be suggesting a postmodern variety of the non-fiction novel. |
