This volume makes significant and fresh contributions to fields of comparative literature and translation which are assuming increasing importance and relevance in the realm of literary and cultural studies. Divided into four interrelated parts, Literary Culture and Translation presents twenty-one seminal essays—written by distinguished scholars—with new aspects on comparative literature starting with the Sanskrit tradition and coming up to modern theoretical concerns, such as epistemological issues involved in crosscultural comparative work and symbiosis of comparative literature and world literature.
The book will be of interest to scholars and academics of Comparative Literature, Translation, Cultural and Interdisciplinary Studies.
