  Charting entire genres - the epistolary, the gothic, and the historical novel - as well as the literary output of countries such as Japan, Italy, Spain, and Nigeria, this work shows how literary history looks significantly different from what is commonly supposed and how the concept of aesthetic form can be radically redefined.
