The Routledge Companion to Global Comparative Literature

Beschreibung

It is a collection of papers that addresses a central question about the discipline: if Eurocentrism has been integral to Comparative Literature, and if the world we live in is undergoing radical changes, then how can, or should, the discipline change to overcome this problem to accommodate non-Western traditions?
