Part I focuses on the ways in which cosmopolitan characters are represented in selected novels, from the debauched Anthony Blanche in Evelyn Waugh's classic Brideshead Revisited, to the victimized Ila in Amitav Ghosh's The Shadow Lines, to John le CarreÌ's undefinable spies. Part II focuses on self-representations of people with a cosmopolitan upbringing, in the form of autobiographical narratives by well-known authors such as Barack Obama and Edward Said, along with lesser-known writers, all of whom "write back" to the ways in which they have at times been stereotyped and othered in literary fiction and public discourse"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Cosmopolitanism in literature. 650 0 $a Identity (Philosophical concept) in literature. 650 7 $a Cosmopolitanism in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01902915 650 7 $a Identity (Philosophical concept) in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00966891 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01986215 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Jackson, Elizabeth, 1958- $t Global childhoods and cosmopolitan identities in literature $d Leiden ; Boston : Brill, 2022 $z 9789004527126 $w (DLC) 2022037499 830 0 $a Cross/cultures ; $v v. 219. $x 0924-1426 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117030917.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=82FBC4AADDAE11EDB031D5162DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
