Critiquing the politics and dynamics of the transcultural poetics
of reading literature, this book demonstrates an ambitious
understanding of the concept of the poet across a wide range of
traditions - Anglo-American, German, French, Arabic, Chinese,
Sanskrit, Bengali, Urdu - and philosophies of creativity that are
rarely studied side by side. Ghosh carves out unexplored spaces of
negotiation and intersections between literature, aesthetics and
philosophy. The book demonstrates an original method of 'global
comparison' that displaces the relatively staid and historicist
categories that have underpinned comparative literature approaches
so far, since they rarely dare stray beyond issues of influence and
schools, or new 'world literature' approaches that affirm
cosmopolitanism and transnationalism as overarching themes. Going
beyond comparatism and reformulating the chronological patterns of
reading, this bold book introduces new methodologies of reading
literature to configure the concept of the poet from Philip Sidney
to T. S Eliot, reading the notion of the poet through completely
new theoretical and epistemic triggers. Commonly known texts and
sometimes well-circulated ideas are subjected to refreshing reading
in what the author calls the 'transcultural now' and (in)fusionised
transpoetical matrices. By moving between theories of poetry and
literature that come from widely separated times, contexts, and
cultures, this book shows the relevance of canonical texts to a
theory of the future as marked by post-global concerns.
