Abstract

New Historicism; historical context; fictional text; textuality, contextuality

Description

Purple Hibiscus has long been regarded as one of Chimamanda Adichie’s more linguistically, if not literality diverse, novel. As a result of this assertion, much critical works focused on the linguistic and thematic features of the novels such as language and indexing, humour and caricature, violence, feminism, power or abuse of it, religious dogmatism, social relation, right denial, etc, at the expense of the socio-political, cultural and historical disposition of the novel.
