The book contains a selection of papers focusing on the idea of crossing boundaries in literary and cultural texts composed in English. The authors come from different methodological schools and analyse texts coming from different periods and cultures, trying to find common ground (the theme of the volume) between the apparently generically and temporarily varied works and phenomena. In this way, a plethora of perspectives is offered, perspectives which represent a high standard both in terms of theoretical reflection and in-depth analysis of selected texts. Consequently, the volume is addressed to a wide scope of both scholars and students working in the field of English and American literary and cultural studies; furthermore, it will be of interest also to students interested in theoretical issues linked with investigations into literature and culture.

America's most outspoken neoconservative intellectual, Norman Podhoretz examines the political implications of literary works and the literary dimensions of political ones. Here, in a gathering of controversial essays, he evaluates the political relevance of such writers as Orwell, Camus, Solzhenitsyn, and Kissinger, and explores the literary and cultural dimensions of the struggle between totalitarianism and the democratic West. Podhoretz stresses the autonomy of literature and politics, and does not permit political criticism to obscure literary merit, or literary merit to blunt political criticism. He explains why Arthur Koestler's The God That Failed failed; maintains that Henry Adams merits his recent obscurity; admires Kissinger's memoirs; discusses the politicization in America of Milan Kundera's work; and suggests that if Orwell were alive today, he would take his stand with the neoconservatives.

This book explores the use of digital humanities (DH) to understand, interpret, and annotate the poetics of Indian literary and cultural texts, which circulate in digital forms — in manuscripts — and as oral or musical performance. Drawing on the linguistic, cultural, historical, social, and geographic diversity of Indian texts and contexts, it foregrounds the use of digital technologies — including minimal computing, novel digital humanities research and teaching methodologies, critical archive generation and maintenance — for explicating poetics of Indian literatures and generating scholarly digital resources which will facilitate comparative readings. With contributions from DH scholars and practitioners from across India, the United States, the United Kingdom, and more, this book will be a key intervention for scholars and researchers of literature and literary theory, DH, media studies, and South Asian Studies.
