Written over the course of twenty-one years and published in 1966, Wide Sargasso Sea, based on Charlotte BrontÃ«â€™s Jane Eyre, takes place in Jamaica and Dominica in 1839â€“45.

Textual notes illuminate the novelâ€™s historical background, regional references, and the non-translated Creole and French phrases necessary to fully understand this powerful story. Backgrounds includes a wealth of material on the novelâ€™s long evolution, it connections to Jane Eyre, and Rhysâ€™s biographical impressions of growing up in Dominica. Criticism introduces readers to the critical debates inspired by the novel with a Derek Walcott poem and eleven essays.
