1. Introduction: Multilingualism, Modernism and the Novel -- 2. Post/Colonial Linguistics: Language Effects and Empire in Heart of Darkness and Nostromo -- 3. Lost for Words in London and Paris: Language Performance in Jean Rhys's Cities -- 4. Self, Dialect and Dialogue: The Multilingual Modernism of Wilson Harris -- 5. The Dangerous Multilingualism of Junot Diaz -- 6. Conclusion: The Anglophone Novel and the Threshold of Capacity.

This book argues that the Anglophone novel in the twentieth century is, in fact, always multilingual. Rooting its analysis in modern Europe and the Caribbean, it recognises that monolingualism, not multilingualism, is a historical and global rarity, and argues that this fact must inform our study of the novel, even when it remains notionally Anglophone. Drawing principally upon four authors - Joseph Conrad, Jean Rhys, Wilson Harris and Junot Diaz - this study argues that a close engagement with the novel reveals a series of ways to apprehend, depict and theorise various kinds of language diversity. In so doing, it reveals the presence of the multilingual as a powerful shaping force for the direction of the novel from 1900 to the present day which cuts across and complicates current understandings of modernist, postcolonial and global literatures.
