Resumo

This article analyses Jamaica Kincaid’s latest novel, See Now Then. After contextualising the text and according to the theoretical framework that structures this analysis, this approach will consider two classics of English literature such as Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre and Jean Rhys’s Wide Sargasso Sea to explore issues of alienation and culture shock through the highly complex and baroque prose that cha­racterises Kincaid’s works.
