"Theoretically informed and broad in literary scope,
Rethinking Place through Literary Form
offers a thoughtful challenge to prevailing models of global literature and hierarchical understandings of the relationship between European and non-European literary forms. Its nuanced theorization of place and local attachment, as well as its attention to the permeable movement of cultural identities across geographic borders, will be of great interest to students and scholars of twentieth- and twenty-first century literature, post-colonial studies, and migration."

"Rethinking Place Through Literary Form engages with literature from a range of languages, genres, and places, pushing us to think beyond national or disciplinary borders. The essays draw on materialist, postcolonial, psychoanalytic, and ecocritical approaches, questioning the very categories in which we construct public and private, global and local, animacy and the inanimate. The result is a substantial contribution to the study of global literature in the twentieth- and twenty-first centuries."

"The dazzling essays in this volume map out new coordinates for the dynamic relationship between place, identity and literary writing. From anticolonial Bengal to the barrios of Los Angeles, from anarchist fiction to ecological elegy, these essays range brilliantly across periods, regions, and literary forms. Emphasizing migration and dispersal as much as rootedness, dwelling on translation and networks as much as belonging, this book suggests vital new directions in the criticism of literature and place."

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
