Elizabeth Jolley

Postcolonial African Caribbean and Pacific Literature

Elizabeth Jolley (1923 to 2007) is recorded in Open Library as an author of thirty three works, with Foxbaby as the title listed first. The record tags her books with the subjects fiction, general fiction, Australia, Australian fiction and New York Times reviewed, so she appears as a writer of fiction connected to Australia whose books were also reviewed in the United States. This entry places her with the literatures of the Pacific because of that Australian link. A second record under her name lists Newspaper of Claremont Street, which sits under the same subjects. Genre, movement, influence and award connections remain to be captured from further sources.
