In "Literature for Europe? "leading scholars from around Europe
reflect on the role played by literature, and by the study of
literature, in the constant re-negotiation and re-construction of
cultural identities in Europe implied by the accession to the
European Union, in the early years of the twenty-first century, of
fifteen new member states, with the accession of a number of Balkan
states impending, and Turkey waiting in the wings, while at the
same time transatlantic relations of the EU to the USA are hotly
debated, in politics as in culture, China and India awake as
economic giants, and globalization is upon us. At the same time,
two of the earliest signatories to the treaties eventually leading
to the European Union rejected a proposal for a European
Constitution, and linguistic, religious, and ethnic dividing lines
show even in some of Europe's oldest nation states. How do literary
texts, genres, and forms, thinking about them and teaching them,
respond to and shape ongoing processes of European
self-understanding in our era of globalization? The volume seeks to
answer these questions by charting key developments in a number of
fields crucial to the emergence of a European common literary
"space" literature and cultural value systems, literature and
cultural memory, literary history, translation, the impact of the
new media and the information age on matters of literature and
identity, and the impact of the postcolonial. "Literature for
Europe? "is a thought-provoking "tour d'horizon "of cutting-edge
developments in the relationship between literary studies and "the
matter of Europe," and suggesting an exciting agenda for literary
studies in Europe. It will be of interest to everyone working in
European studies and/or European literature.
