It wasn’t until 1966, after several decades of anonymity marked by two more failed marriages and an ever deepening problem with alcoholism, that Rhys published Wide Sargasso Sea and was rocketed to literary fame. Wide Sargasso Sea remains her most acclaimed work, having garnered her several major literary awards and a place in the canon of postcolonial literature in English. Wide Sargasso Sea, which takes place in colonized Jamaica and deals with problems of identity and inequality that arose as a result of French and British colonization in the Caribbean, was completed and published during an era of widespread decolonization.
The 1960‘s in particular saw many important gains in political independence among the British colonies in the Caribbean, including Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago, which achieved independence from Britain in 1962, followed by Barbados in 1966, the year Wide Sargasso Sea was published.
