Bringing together the analyses of the literary world-system,
translation studies, and the research of European cultural
nationalism, this book contests the view that texts can be
attributed global importance irrespective of their origin,
language, and position in the international book market. Focusing
on Slovenian literature, almost unknown to world literature
studies, this book addresses world literature's canonical function
in the nineteenth-century process of establishing European letters
as national literatures. Aware of their dependence on imperial
powers, (semi)peripheral national movements sought international
recognition through, among other things, the newly invented figure
of the national poet. Writers central to dependent national
communities were canonized to represent their respective cultures
to the norm-giving Other - the emerging world literary canon and
its aesthetic ideology. Hence, national literatures asserted their
linguo-cultural individuality through the process of worlding; that
is, by their positioning in the international literary world
informed by the supposed universality of the aesthetic.
