Postcolonial Evaluation of Patrick Whites Selected Fictions
Author : Santosh Pralhad Sutar
Abstract :
The goal of this research paper is to examine the postcolonial themes that are unique to Patrick White's novels. The rigidity that existed between the former colonies and the imperial centres is deftly shown in the novels of Patrick White (1912–1990). His writings on fiction turn into a risk for investigating colonial and postcolonial themes. In this research paper, Patrick White's fictions are the main subject and their growth in relation to postcolonial reading is examined. The debate mostly focuses on reading postcolonial theory and applying the theory-which is based on reading significant postcolonial theorists-to Patrick White's work. An important figure in Australian literature, Patrick White, has contributed to the growth of postcolonial literary studies. His works of fiction offer a variety of ideas and subjects to consider, offering a foundation for conversation and in order to better understand the postcolonial themes in Patrick White's work, this research study aims to investigate those subjects. The rigidity between the former imperial cities and the former colonies is expertly projected in Patrick White's literature (1912–1990). Exploring colonial and postcolonial issues becomes hazardous when it comes to his fiction. Considering Patrick White's fictions in light of the evolution of postcolonial reading, this research article centres on them. Readings from significant postcolonial theorists are primarily highlighted in the debate, along with the application of the theory to Patrick White's literature. The growth of postcolonial literary studies is aided by the work of prominent Australian author Patrick White.
