Anthem Studies in Global English Literatures

The Anthem Studies in Global English Literatures publishes critical works that consider literature written in the English language in the context of a broader world culture. Titles in this series will focus on writers from across the globe, aiming to reformulate the idea of World Literature by investigating how the subject mutates as it crosses borders, both theoretical and geographic. The series also interrogates the ways in which canonical Western figures appear in a different light when understood within unfamiliar contexts or reception frameworks.

Pastoral Cosmopolitanism in Edith Wharton’s Fiction

Pastoral Cosmopolitanism in Edith Wharton’s Fiction

The World is a Welter

Margarida Cadima

One of the goals of this book is to demonstrate that while the pastoral seems to portray troubling fractures between the social self and native soil, Wharton is more struck by how these ostensibly divergent cultural categories superimpose and interpenetrate to form an ecocritical palimpsest.

The European Byron

The European Byron

Mobility, Cosmopolitanism, and Chameleon Poetry

Jonathan Gross

This book considers how Byron’s cosmopolitanism, mobility, and chameleon style influenced Byron’s identity in West and Eastern Europe. Transformed by French translations, Byron’s work was read by Thomas Moore, Ugo Foscolo, Lady Mosergan, Madame de Staël, Adam Mickiewicz and Alexander Pushkin. His ironic style in “The Island” anticipated themes explored by Harlem Renaissance writers such as Countee Cullen and Russian poet Marina Tsvetaeva, while his death in Greece shaped how Adam Mickiewicz and Alexander Pushkin chose to live and end their lives.
