The volume offers an overview of the economic, political and
cultural factors that influence the production of literature. By
bringing together the research areas of literary criticism and book
history, the volume focuses on narrative strategies, metaphors and
tropes that reflect the market as a network of multi-conglomerates,
authors, translators and readers. The global scope of the different
contributions unites analyses of German, English, Spanish, French,
Scandinavian, Indian and South African literature. The contributors
attend carefully to the economic contexts of the literary
production while simultaneously addressing the market's influence
on content and form. Thoughts on poetological reflections of
economic phenomena complement studies concerning the means of
production and vice versa.
