Does this perspective lie behind all "great" literature, which asks its readers to experience otherness by opening themselves up to another person's words and thoughts? Through analyses of contemporary theories of cosmopolitanism and literary texts such as Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, Heart of Darkness, Lilith's Brood, Moby-Dick, Othello, and Ragtime, Cosmopolitanism and the Literary Imagination explores the cosmopolitan impulses behind the literary imagination. The book proposes a method for a cosmopolitan reading practice that should appeal not only to scholars and students of literature, but also to general readers and is suitable for classroom adoption"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Cosmopolitanism in literature. 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / American / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / European / English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / Semiotics & Theory. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Cosmopolitanism in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01902915 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180111044724.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A7A376F4F2F211E49475ABD7DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
