World Literature as Discovery (eBook, ePUB)

Expanding the World Literary Canon

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

World Literature as Discovery argues that world literature for our time must go beyond Eurocentrism and expand the canon to include great works from non-European and "minor" European literatures. Zhang Longxi proposes a new and liberating concept of world literature that will shape world literature worthy of its name.
