The Cambridge Companion to World Literature introduces the
significant ideas and practices of world literary studies. It
provides a lucid and accessible account of the fundamental issues
and concepts in world literature, including the problems of
imagining the totality of literature; comparing literary works
across histories, cultures and languages; and understanding
how literary production is affected by forces such as imperialism
and globalization. The essays demonstrate how detailed critical
engagements with particular literary texts call forth differing
conceptions of world literature, and, conversely, how theories of
world literature shape our practices of readings. Subjects covered
include cosmopolitanism, transnationalism, internationalism, scale
and systems, sociological criticism, translation, scripts, and
orality. This book also includes original analyses of genres and
forms, ranging from tragedy to the novel and graphic fiction, lyric
poetry to the short story and world cinema.
