Media Reviews

This is a fascinating, ambitious and very timely book that tackles one of the hottest topics in literary studies today. Susan Bassnett, University of Warwick Gupta sheds a clear light on this little explored field through his comprehensive coverage of the scholarship, his multipronged approach to the topic, and his sure-footed negotiation of theoretical issues. Rajeswari Sunder Rajan, New York University In his book, Professor Gupta examines the relationship between globalization and literature via a historical approach, notably the self/inner differentiation in English studies. It is thought-provoking, full of insight and most cogent, and well worth recommending to everyone seriously interested in this area. Yue Daiyun, Peking University
