About the Book

Globalization and Literature provides an insightful overview of the relationship between globalization studies and literature. This book explores how globalization is represented in literary works, analyzes the intersection between globalization theory and literary theory, and examines the impact of global processes on the creation and reception of literary texts.

Suman Gupta argues that while literature has engaged with globalization in significant ways, a gap remains between globalization studies and literary studies, a gap that the book addresses through a range of examples. Key themes include how anti-globalization protests and world cities are depicted in literature, the relationship between postmodernism and postcolonialism with globalization theory, and the global circulation of literary works.

This book serves as both a survey and a contribution to the field, making it valuable for university-level students, researchers, and anyone interested in the intersection of globalization and literature.
