Descrição: The focus of Ranjan Ghosh and J. Hillis Millers 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. There are many differences between what Ghosh and Miller say and indeed how they say it. In chapters of alternating authorship they explore their shared as well as diverging, sometimes conflicting concerns. Miller writes from the United States, but with an informed awareness of how literature and literary theory are taught and studied "across continents": much of his contribution to this book complements or overlaps with material published in his An Innocent Abroad: Lectures in China.2 Ghosh writes "across continents" from India, with an expansive sensitivity to European and American literature, literary theory and philosophy, as well as a passionate interest in elaborating the significance and value of "the Sanskrit, Hindi, and Bengali notion of literature as Sahitya."3 Ghosh is concerned with what he calls "(m)fusion" theory and its efficacy for the study of "world literature"; Miller is skeptical about such a globalizing impulse and is more driven to affirm and demonstrate the significance and value of reading a specific literary text, whether this be a poem by Yeats or a novel by Anthony Trollope.
