From the possibilities and limitations of translation addressed by Jhumpa Lahiri and David Malouf to the effects of shifting borders in the writings of Eugenio Montale, W. G. Sebald, Colm T?ib?n, and many others, esteemed literary critic Mary Jacobus looks at the ways novelists, poets, photographers, and filmmakers revise narratives of language, identity, and exile. Jacobus's attentive readings of texts and images seek to answer the question: What does it mean to identify as-or with-an outsider? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWalls and border-crossings, nomadic wanderings and Alpine walking, the urge to travel and the yearning for home-Jacobus braids together such threads in disparate times and geographies. She plumbs the experiences of Ovid in exile, \u003ci\u003eFrankenstein\u003c\/i\u003e's outcast Being, Elizabeth Bishop in Nova Scotia and Brazil, Walter Benjamin's Berlin childhood, and Sophocles's Antigone in the wilderness. Throughout, Jacobus trains her eye on issues of transformation and translocation; the traumas of partings, journeys, and returns; and confrontations with memory and the past. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFocusing on human conditions both modern and timeless, \u003ci\u003eOn Belonging and Not Belonging\u003c\/i\u003e offers a unique consideration of inclusion and exclusion in our world.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMary Jacobus\u003c\/b\u003e is the Grace II Professor Emerita of English at the University of Cambridge and professor emerita of English at Cornell University.
