Description

A collection of six essays by major scholars, this book reconsiders various aspects of literary history, focusing on key questions in contemporary literary theory such as the idea of nations and nationalism, racial memory, and colonialism and postcolonialism. The authors provide synoptic and wide-ranging discussions of each particular issue and reflect on, argue with, and "rethink" each other's formulations, reinforcing a dialogic structure within the volume.
