New Directions in Book History: Transnational Audiences, Volume 2

Nebrig, Alexander; Deer, Marie

Following the historical analysis that focused on the actors and the institutions of book culture in the first volume, volume two discusses writing strategies in the global licensing realm, as well as revealing the form, character, and structure of multilateral literature. Globalized texts address audiences of different languages and cultures. Using German literature from the 19th century to the present, six literary techniques that engage transnational audiences are analyzed: the internationalization of textual reference, the pluralization and decentering of space, the staging of mediation, the effects of multilingualism, transnational issues, and the global novel.
