 CONTEXT: Martha Haas on Jean Rhys   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The art of Jean Rhys is difficult to get at because her work seems so "artless," flat prose, episodic, even offhanded.
Which is very close to how one reads her, akin to listening to someone ramble who provides little or no context for who was doing what or when; even while you can follow the ramblings clearly line to line, without the context you cannot attach significance to anything in particular.
For instance, in Rhys the name of someone (Enno, her lover) is mentioned early on but no information is provided about how this figure relates to the narrator; fifty pages later we find out, almost in an aside, that he was the father of her child.

 Jean Rhys Page by Alana Harding for English 492
Most sites mention that Rhys was born in Dominica to a Welsh doctor and a Creole mother, and that she moved to England at the age of sixteen.
I do not believe Rhys's fiction should be read as autobiographical because that makes Rhys herself the primary focus of study instead of her fiction and the themes found within it.
It becomes necessary to separate Rhys from her fiction, unless Rhys herself is the object of study and not the cultural themes raised by her fiction, such as the Creole woman's place in English society.
