- Summary:
- A distinguished literary theorist and celebrated cultural critic proposes a "new comparative literature." Spivak demonstrates how critics interested in social justice should pay close attention to literary form and offers new interpretations of classics such as Joseph Conrads "Heart of Darkness" and Virginia Woolfs "A Room of Ones Own." The book offers close readings of texts not only in English, French, and German, but also in Arabic and Bengali.
