This collection of essays on Graham Swift's fiction brings together
the perspectives of renowned Swift scholars from around the world.
Authors look at the swift's oeuvre from different interpretative
angles, combining a variety of critical and theoretical approaches.
This book covers all of Swift's fiction, including his novels and
short stories; special emphasis, however, is on his most recent
books. By approaching Swift's work from a number of perspectives,
the volume offers a synthetic overview of his literary output. In
particular, it searches for thematic and formal continuities
between his early and more recent fiction, and attempts to
emphasize its new developments and interests.
Travelling Texts: J.M. Coetzee and Other Writers is a collection of
essays on mutual influences and inspirations between authors, with
a special focus on J.M. Coetzee. Bringing together a group of
international scholars, the book offers a wide range of
perspectives on how canonical and less canonical texts travel
between literatures and cultures. Chapter One is devoted to
connections between Coetzee's writings and Polish literature and
theatre. Chapter Two is concerned with Dostoevsky's presence in his
fiction. The essays in Chapter Three identify and analyse
connections and inspirations between Coetzee and other European
writers, with a special focus on Central Europe as a distinct
cultural entity. The collection's scope is extended by the essays
in Chapter Four, which deal with several writers for whom Africa
has been a source of inspiration.
