Description

A History of World Literature is a fully revised and expanded edition of The Routledge Concise History of World Literature (2012).

This remarkably broad and informative book offers an introduction to “world literature.”Tracing the term from its earliest roots and situating it within a number of relevant contexts from postcolonialism, decoloniality, ecocriticism, and book circulation, Theo D’haen in ten tightly-argued but richly-detailed chapters examines:the return of the term “world literature” and its changing meaning;Goethe’s concept of Weltliteratur and how this relates to current debates;theories and theorists who have had an impact on world literature; andhow world literature is taught around the world. By examining how world literature is studied around the globe, this book is the ideal guide to an increasingly popular and important term in literary studies.

It is accessible and engaging and will be invaluable to students of world literature, comparative literature, translation, postcolonial and decoloniality studies, and materialist approaches, and to anyone with an interest in these or related topics.
