Enlisting World literature

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project aims to generate new knowledge to understand relationships between national literatures and global reading patterns. It will focus on how world literature was used in the Cold War for global circulation by focussing on the English-language paperbacks produced by East German publisher Seven Seas. Expected outcomes include the first thorough history of a socialist Cold War book scheme with an international scope, drawing on rich archival sources.
