Through Other Continents: American Literature across Deep Time

Through Other Continents: American Literature across Deep Time

by WaiCheeDimock (Author)

Synopsis

Argues that what we call American literature is quite often a shorthand, a simplified name for an extended tangle of relations. This book contends that American literature is answerable not to the nation-state, but to the human species as a whole and that it looks dramatically different when removed from a national or English-language context.
