Abstract

This special issue of Kunapipi is a tribute to tlie work and career of Professor

Shirley Chew, who retires in June 2003 as Professor of Commonwealth and

Postcolonial Literatures in the School of English, University of Leeds, UK. She

has occupied the Chair at Leeds since 1993, but her association with the School

of English dates from 1974. Along with other scholars at Leeds, such as Arthur

Ravenscroft, William Walsh, Lynette Hunter and David Richards — and in

association with international figures such as the late Anna Rutherford — Shirley

has dedicated her academic career to the teaching, researching and promoting

of literatures in English from Commonwealth countries.
