Recenzii
The impact of Buddhist ideas and practices upon western society, especially since the mid- twentieth century, far outweighs the number of people who self-identify as Buddhist. This excellent collection of essays is ground-breaking in its exploration of engagement with Buddhist philosophical ideas and tropes within modern British and American literature. Essential reading for gaining an understanding of 'oriental' influences and tropes within modern literature.
This represents a real development in literary study of Buddhist influence... The book, a pioneer in its way, is recommended for any scholar of twentieth-century Buddhism and its varied reflections and reinterpretations
