American Literature as World Literature
Author: Jeffrey R. Di LeoPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1501332287
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 295
Book Description
For better or worse, America lives in the age of “worlded” literature. Not the world literature of nations and nationalities considered from most powerful and wealthy to the least. And not the world literature found with a map. Rather, the worlded literature of individuals crossing borders, mixing stories, and speaking in dialect. Where translation struggles to be effective and background is itself another story. The “worlded” literature of the multinational corporate publishing industry where the global market is all. The essays in this collection, from some of the most distinguished figures in American studies and literature, explore what it means to consider American literature as world literature.
