- Summary:
- Critical essays from some of the major authors in the field of international literature in English open up possibilities, mark out boundaries and set objectives in this ever-expanding field. The writers themselves are the principal guides and resources for this enterprise. New literary and critical practices are derived from the problematic role of English as an international language and from its relation with other languages. Values of cultural difference and particularity are emphasized.
