Dutch and Flemish Literature as World Literature: Literatures as World Literature

Editat de Professor Theo D'haen
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 ian 2021
The recent return of 'world literature' to the centre of literary studies has entailed an increased attention to non-European literatures, but in turn has also further marginalized Europe's smaller literatures. Dutch and Flemish Literature as World Literature shows how Dutch-language literature, from its very beginnings in the Middle Ages to the present, has not only always taken its cue from the 'major' literary traditions of Europe and beyond, but has also actively contributed to and influenced these traditions. The contributors to this book focus on key works and authors, providing a concise, yet highly readable, history of Dutch-language literature and demonstrating how this literature is anchored in world literature.

Recenzii

This compendious collection opens out the varied landscape of literature in Dutch from the Middle Ages to the present, with illuminating essays on writers who were at once hemmed in by the surrounding major powers and deeply engaged with them. Anyone interested in world literature, in centre-periphery relations and in translation studies will find many discoveries among these writers who together created a minor literature of major proportions.
This useful book offers new perspectives on the relationship between Dutch writing and other literatures through the ages. The contributors make a strong case for redefining the position of Dutch as a world literature, opening the way for other unjustly neglected literatures to be re-evaluated.
For non-Dutch readers, this collection of essays presents a marvellous discovery of the gems of Dutch or Flemish literature, their rich colours and brilliance, and their significance as world literature. This shows what world literature can do at its best - namely, the enrichment of world literature by bringing in the best of the world's various literary traditions, particularly those globally yet-unknown works of great worth and value for our understanding and appreciation.
