Abstract
This essay looks into some of the ways in which post-colonial writers have addressed the Euro-centric canon of the British novel. Although most of them became familiar with it in the course of their school education, they have often de-centered the canon in order to propose a new cartography of the genre, thus endowing it with new impetus. After highlighting the role of intertextuality and hybridisation in post-colonial texts, our attention will return to generic hybridity. This will lead us to wonder whether the post-colonial novel can itself be viewed as a new literary canon.
