- Summary:
- 'On the Horizon of World Literature' compares literary texts from asynchronous periods of incipient literary modernity in different parts of the world: Romantic England and Republican China. These moments were oriented alike by 'world literature' as a discursive framework of classifications that connected and re-organized local articulations of literary histories and literary modernities. World literature thus provided - and continues to provide - a condition of possibility for conversation between cultures as well as for their mutual provincialization. The book offers readings of a selection of literary forms that serve also as textual sites for the enactment of new socio-political forms of life.
