He has published extensively on topics ranging from authorship in ancient Greece and China to theories of world literature, from the emergence of literary history as a discipline in the nineteenth century to the origins of Canadian literature. His first book, "Authorship and Cultural Identity in Early Greece and China," was published by Cambridge University Press.
Recenzii
Praise for "Authorship and Cultural Identity in Greece and China"
"A sophisticated comparative study of Archaic Greek and Early Chinese poetry. He also introduces into the field of comparative studies of Greece and China the new element of authorship and the impact of authorship on poetics and the intertwining of cultural and political dimensions of poetry ... overall this is a very impressive publication that deserves to be read widely. The author displays a very thorough understanding of Classical Chinese literature and provides a much more sophisticated comparative analysis that does justice to the complexities of both literary traditions, a feature somewhat lacking in many previous attempts at comparative analysis." --
"Extraordinary in its sweep across time and space, Alexander Beecroft's new book insightfully distinguishes among various groupings or 'ecologies' of world literature. Admirably lucid, engaging, and ambitious, it encompasses literary cultures at every scale, from the most local to the national and global. It is sure to help energize comparative literary studies for years to come." --Jahan Ramazani, author of "A Transnational Poetics"
"Beecroft's approach provides a useful means of comparing literatures across time and language and dares to speculate what might be in store for the future. Well-written and clearly argued." --"Library Journal"
"Approaches the classification of world literature from a truly distinctive standpoint...Beecroft's ability to negotiate Eastern and Western literatures while avoiding the dichotomy so common to discussing these traditions is astonishing in scope and expertise." --"Choice"

Descriere
What constitutes a nation s literature? How do literatures of different countries interact with one another? In this groundbreaking study, Alexander Beecroft develops a new way of thinking about world literature. Drawing on a series of examples and case studies, the book ranges from ancient epic to the contemporary fiction of Roberto Bolano and Amitav Ghosh.
