Keywords contemporary British novel Jane Rogers Mr. Wroe's Virgins Promised Lands The Voyage Home Island
Description This article examines how in four of Jane Rogers's recent novels the historical perspective and the narrative voices within it co-exist and contribute towards creating a specific novel category or sub-genre. In this light Mr. Wroe's Virgins (1991) could be described as historical fiction or fictional biography, the award-winning Promised Lands (1995) and The Voyage Home (2004)fit the postcolonial novel pattern, while the opening of Island (1999) could be suggesting a postmodern variety of the non-fiction novel.
