Thinking Literature across Continents finds Ranjan Ghosh and J.
Hillis Miller-two thinkers from different continents, cultures,
training, and critical perspectives-debating and reflecting upon
what literature is and why it matters. Ghosh and Miller do not
attempt to formulate a joint theory of literature; rather, they
allow their different backgrounds and lively disagreements to
stimulate generative dialogue on poetry, world literature,
pedagogy, and the ethics of literature. Addressing a varied
literary context ranging from Victorian literature, Chinese
literary criticism and philosophy, and continental philosophy to
Sanskrit poetics and modern European literature, Ghosh offers a
transnational theory of literature while Miller emphasizes the need
to account for what a text says and how it says it. Thinking
Literature across Continents highlights two minds continually
discovering new paths of communication and two literary and
cultural traditions intersecting in productive and compelling ways.
