Global Literature

SERIES EDITORS: Claire Chambers, University of York, UK and Shital Pravinchandra, Queen Mary University of London, UK Global Literature: Twenty-First-Century Perspectives introduces both enduring and cutting-edge debates about literature from around the globe. The books in this series provide readers with a thorough background to the field, while also offering alternative views and approaches, as well as new research directions. Readers are invited to explore the transnational elements of cultural production and reception, examining texts’ critical relationship with colonial history; resistance to (neo-)colonialism; the persistent linguistic hegemony of European languages; identity and equality debates; environments; the body; and the digital age. Across the series, these accessible books connect key theoretical texts and literary examples to cultural texts and political debates, presenting complex ideas and information in a clear manner ideal for students.
