Literatures of Liberalization

Focusing on the global exchange of cultures and ideologies from the long nineteenth century to contemporary liberalism, this book examines both coerced and voluntary interactions that transcend national boundaries. It highlights the role of literature and geopolitical commodities in shaping world affairs, emphasizing local distinctiveness during transculturation. Through original case studies and a new interdisciplinary approach, the author synthesizes theoretical scholarship, appealing to scholars across various fields, including Victorian and modern literature, political theory, and globalization.
