Tiwari argues that Indic words for world (\u003ci\u003evishva, jagat, sansar\u003c\/i\u003e) offer a nuanced understanding of world literature that is antithetical to a commodified and standardized monolingual globe. She develops a comparative study of the concept of \"world literature\" (\u003ci\u003evishva sahitya\u003c\/i\u003e) in Rabindranath Tagore's works, the desire for a new world in the lyrics of the Hindi shadowism (\u003ci\u003echhayavaad\u003c\/i\u003e) poets, and world-making in Thakazhi Sivasankara Pillai's \u003ci\u003eChemmeen \u003c\/i\u003e(1956) and Arundhati Roy's \u003ci\u003eThe God of Small Things \u003c\/i\u003e(1997). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy emphasizing the centrality of \"literature\" (\u003ci\u003esahitya\u003c\/i\u003e) through a close reading of texts, Tiwari orients world literature toward comparative literature and comparative literature toward a worldliness that is receptive to the poetics of a world in its original language and in translation.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBhavya Tiwari \u003c\/b\u003eis Assistant Professor in the Department of Modern and Classical Languages at the University of Houston, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 208\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.44 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 29, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52703800918323,"sku":"9781501386879","price":80.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/AD5HG3JnLV9781501386879.webp?v=1763340944","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/beyond-english-world-literature-and-india-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
