Venkat Mani presents a historical account of world literature. By locating translation, publication, and circulation along routes of "bibliomigrancy," 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. 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 UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/31619/1/626400.pdf UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/31619/1/626400.pdf UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/31619/1/626400.pdf UR - https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/34388 ER -
