The Transnational in English Literature examines English literary
history through its transnational engagements and argues that every
period of English Literature can be examined through its global
relations. English identity and nationhood is therefore defined
through its negotiation with other regions and cultures. The first
book to look at the entirety of English literature through a
transnational lens, Pramod Nayar: Maps the discourses that
constitute the global in every age, from the Early Modern to the
twentieth century Offers readings of representative texts in
poetry, fiction, essay and drama, covering a variety of genres such
as Early Modern tragedy, the adventure novel, the narrative poem,
Gothic and utopian fiction Examines major authors including
Shakespeare, Defoe, Behn, Swift, Coleridge, Wordsworth, Austen,
Mary Shelley, the Brontes, Doyle, Ballantyne, Orwell, Conrad,
Kipling, Forster Looks at themes such as travel and discovery,
exoticism, mercantilism, commodities, the civilisational mission
and the multiculturalization of England. Useful for students and
academics alike this book offers a comprehensive survey of the
English canon questioning and analysing the transnational and
global engagements of English literature.
