Adopting a unique historical approach to its subject and with a
particular focus on the institutions involved in the creation,
dissemination, and reception of literature, this handbook surveys
the way in which the Cold War shaped literature and literary
production, and how literature affected the course of the Cold War.
To do so, in addition to more 'traditional' sources it uses
institutions like MFA programs, university literature departments,
book-review sections of newspapers, publishing houses,
non-governmental cultural agencies, libraries, and literary
magazines as a way to understand works of the period differently.
Broad in both their geographical range and the range of writers
they cover, the book's essays examine works of mainstream American
literary fiction from writers such as Roth, Updike and Faulkner, as
well as moving beyond the U.S. and the U.K. to detail how writers
and readers from countries including, but not limited to, Taiwan,
Japan, Uganda, South Africa, India, Cuba, the USSR, and the Czech
Republic engaged with and contributed to Anglo-American literary
texts and institutions.
