Klappentext zu „Literatures of Liberalization “
This book traces the global circulation of cultures and ideologies from the technological and democratic revolutions of the long nineteenth century to liberal and neoliberal modernity. Focussing on moments of coerced (colonial and postcolonial) and voluntary contact rather than national boundaries, the author draws attention to the global scope of literatures and geopolitical commodities as actants in world affairs, as in processes of liberalization, democratization, and trade, but also to the distinctiveness of each local environment at its moments of transculturation. Based in extensive experience in collaborative, multilingual, interdisciplinary networks, the book synthesizes existing theoretical scholarship, provides original case studies of world-historical Victorian and modern writers, and articulates a new interdisciplinary methodology for literary studies in a global context. It will be of interest to Victorianists, modernists, comparatists, political theorists, translators, and scholars of world literatures, world ecology, and globalization.

Pressezitat
"Gagnier's book offers a genuinely broad comparative perspective on the circulation of Victorian and Anglophone ideologies, social movements, ideas, authors, literary motives and forms, and on the ways in which they migrated to China, Japan, India, Russia, and Turkey, among other countries ... ." (David Fishelov, Journal of Literature and the History of Ideas, Vol. 19 (2), June, 2021)"There can be no doubt that Gagnier articulates some important new questions that will further nineteenth-century comparative studies. Readers of world literature and comparative literature, literary or book historians on transculturation and globalisation, and researchers with an interest in how the long nineteenth century can be viewed as globally interactive (intertextually, contextually, and paratextually) will profit immensely from this book." (Yuejie Liu, BAVS Newsletter, Vol. 20 (1), 2020)
