Beschreibung
This collection includes contributions from some of the major authors in the field. The critical essays have been chosen to open up possibilities, mark out boundaries and set objectives in the ever-expanding field of international literature in English. 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 relations with other languages. Values of cultural difference and particularity are emphasised.

'The attempt of the book, is to argue a future into being where the reality of cultural difference is a resource rather than a barrier...it is an enterprise worth the celebrating.' - Peter Arnott, The Herald (Glasgow)
