For many writers writing in English today, English is but one of a
number of languages, and by extension cultures, to which they have
access. The question arises of the impact of this sometimes latent,
sometimes explicit, multilingualism on generic and other literary
forms and conventions. To what extent is English literature today a
literature in translation in the sense that it is formed at the
confluence of different literary and cultural traditions and is
mediated or brokered by multilingual individuals? And to what
extent might literary creativity today be premised on access to
more than one language and/or set of cultural and literary
traditions? English as a Literature in Translation examines the
complexities of writing in English and assesses the extent to which
language practices in English have been localized and/or culturally
inflected, even as English has become a global medium of
communication.
