Venkat Mani presents a historical account of world literature. By locating translation, publication, and circulation along routes of 'bibliomigrancy'--the physical and virtual movement of books--Mani narrates how world literature is coded and recoded as literary works find new homes on faraway bookshelves. Mani argues that the proliferation of world literature in a society is the function of a nation's relationship with print culture--a Faustian pact with books. Moving from early Orientalist collections, to the Nazi magazine Weltliteratur, to the European Digital Library, Mani reveals the political foundations for a history of world literature that is at once a philosophical ideal, a process of exchange, a mode of reading, and a system of classification. Shifting current scholarship's focus from the academic to the general reader, from the university to the public sphere, Recoding World Literature argues that world literature is culturally determined, historically conditioned, and politically charged."-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Of masters and masterpieces : an empire of books, a mythic European library -- Half epic, half drastic : from a parliament of letters to a national library -- The shadow of empty shelves : two world wars and the rise and fall of world literature -- Windows on the Berlin wall : unfinished histories of world literature in a divided Germany -- Libraries without walls?
