Global Literary Theory: An Anthology comprises a selection of
classic, must-read essays alongside contemporary and global
extracts, providing an engaging and timely overview of literary
theory. The volume is thoroughly introduced in the General
Introduction and Part Introductions and each piece is
contextualized within the wider sphere of global theory. Each part
also includes annotated suggestions for further reading to help the
reader navigate the extensive literature on each topic.The volume
engages with the "internationalizing" of the curriculum as well as
the globalization of literature and theory. Alongside these key
themes, the volume also extends its coverage to include: The core
topics and theorists from formalism and structuralism to
postmodernism and deconstruction Digital humanities and humanities
computing and their relevance to globalization and literary theory
The religious turn in literary theory and philosophy New
textualities such as auto/biography, travel writing and
ecocriticism Oppositional texts which "write back" against the
canon In addition, the book's Companion Website features an
interactive world map incorporating biographies of every theorist
in the book, as well as biographies of additional influential
theorists. Crucially, this anthology shows that ethnic,
postcolonial studies and globalization are not simply niche areas
of literary study but are of concern across the contemporary
humanities and that new voices are always emerging, and being
discovered, from around the globe. As such, this volume offers a
refocusing of essential literary theory, extending the canon in
line with ongoing debates concerning contemporary cultural and
geographic borders.
