{"product_id":"debating-world-literature-christopher-prendergast-9781859844588","title":"Debating World Literature","description":"In the continuing debates about the cultural dimensions of globalization, the question of 'literature' has been something of a poor relation. This volume seeks to redress the balance. It takes as its starting point Goethe's idea of \u003ci\u003eWeltliteratur\u003c\/i\u003e, from which it then travels out to various parts of the globe at different historical junctures. Among its many concerns are the legacies of Goethe's idea, variable understandings of the term 'literature' itself, cross-cultural encounters, the nature of 'small literatures', and the cultural politics of literary genres. With contributions from many of the leading voices in the field, \u003ci\u003eDebating World Literature\u003c\/i\u003e seeks to transcend the pieties and simplifications of polemic in a search for the complexity embodied in the linking of the two terms 'world' and 'literature'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Prendergast\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1859844588\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781859844588\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/17\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.44h x 5.38w x 1.10d","brand":"Christopher Prendergast","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939034202367,"sku":"9781859844588","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_b9880c1a-cb1d-43fb-9dd1-653ce8e32b06.jpg?v=1681439109","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/debating-world-literature-christopher-prendergast-9781859844588","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
