Extraordinary in its sweep
aoross 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.

study, Alexander Beecroft develops

examples and case studies, the
book ranges from ancient epic to
the contemporary fiction of Roberto
Solano
and Amitav Ghosh.
Moving across literary ecologies
of varying sizes, from small societies
to the planet as a whole, the
environments in which literary texts
are produced and circulated,
Лп
Ecology of
Worlo4
^terature places
in dialogue scholarly perspectives
on ancient and modern, western
and
non
-western texts, navigating
literary study into new and
uncharted territory.
