Thinking Literature across Continents

Thinking Literature across Continents
by Ranjan Ghosh (Author), J. Hillis Miller (Author) – December 2, 2016

Thinking Literature across Continents finds Ranjan Ghosh and J. Hillis Miller two thinkers from different continents, cultures, training, and critical perspectives debating and reflecting upon what literature is and why it matters. Ghosh and Miller do not attempt to formulate a joint theory of literature; rather, they allow their different backgrounds and lively disagreements to stimulate generative dialogue on poetry, world literature, pedagogy, and the ethics of literature. Addressing a varied literary context ranging from Victorian literature, Chinese literary criticism and philosophy, and continental philosophy to Sanskrit poetics and modern European literature, Ghosh offers a transnational theory of literature while Miller emphasizes the need to account for what a text says and how it says it. Thinking Literature across Continents highlights two minds continually discovering new paths of communication and two literary and cultural traditions intersecting in productive and compelling ways.
