Thinking Literature across Continents

"Immensely knowledgeable and thought-provoking."
Susana Onega, CounterText
"The focus of Ranjan Ghosh and J. Hillis Miller’s ambitious, distinctive, and highly engaging book Thinking Literature across Continents is nothing less than the world (the meaning of 'the world' and what is happening to it, above all from the perspective of people involved in education, whether teaching or being taught), together with that seemingly familiar yet peculiar, elusive thing called literature."
Nicholas Royle, Comparative Literature Studies
