Fascinating, contentious.
- John Banville, New York Review of Books
Praise for <i>The World Republic of Letters</i>: <br /><br />Nothing like this has been attempted before. <i>The World Republic of Letters</i> is likely to have the same sort of liberating impact at large as Said's <i>Orientalism</i>.
- Perry Anderson, London Review of Books
Praise for <i>The World Republic of Letters</i>:<br /><br /><br />A brilliant, groundbreaking book.Casanova's work amounts to a radical remapping of global literary space The breadth of her scholarship here is staggering: from South America to North Africa, Eastern Europe to East Asia; from the emergent Modernism of Ibsen andYeats to the most recent postcolonial hybridities; from 'assimilationists' like Naipul and Cioran to 'rebels' like Neruda and Achebe. She has created a map of global literary power relations where none had existed, and she has raised a host of further questions.
- William Deresiewicz, Nation
Praise for <i>The World Republic of Letters</i>:<br /><br /><br />An excellent book. Today's international space, as Casanova sees it, is created through a rivalry between the growing number of nations eager to establish a literary prestige, promoting their poets and novelists internationally with the help of government institutions.
- Tim Park, Times Literary Supplement
Praise for <i>The World Republic of Letters</i>:<br /><br />This book, which unlike many other works of literary theory is written with exemplary lucidity, represents a milestone in the history of modern literary thought.
