At the end of the nineteenth century, several countries were
developing journalistic traditions similar to what we identify
today as literary reportage or literary journalism. Yet throughout
most of the twentieth century, in particular after World War I,
that tradition was overshadowed and even marginalised by the
general perception among democratic states that journalism ought to
be either "objective," as in the American tradition, or
"polemical," as in the European. Nonetheless, literary journalism
would survive and, at times, even thrive. How and why is a story
that is unique to each nation. Though largely considered an
Anglo-American phenomenon today, literary journalism has had a long
and complex international history, one built on a combination of
traditions and influences that are sometimes quite specific to a
nation and at other times come from the blending of cultures across
borders. These essays examine this phenomenon from various
international perspectives, documenting literary journalism's rich
and diverse heritage and describing its development within a global
context. In addition to the editors, contributors include David
Abrahamson, Peiqin Chen, Clazina Dingemanse, William Dow, Rutger de
Graaf, John Hartsock, Nikki Hessell, Maria Lassila-Merisalo,
Edvaldo Pereira Lima, Willa McDonald, Jenny McKay, Sonja Merljak
Zdovc, Sonia Parratt, Norman Sims, Isabel Soares, and Soenke Zehle.
