"This is a splendid, erudite, sophisticated, and eminently readable book that makes vital, original interventions in several interlocking fields in the humanities." -- -Leslie Adelson Cornell University "Recoding World Literature is a work of stunning scope. Drawing on archives across languages and countries, from Goethe to Pamuk, and taking seriously the well-known fact that world literature was in origin a German idea, Mani provides a fresh and alternative history of this now hegemonic concept. The discussion about world literature is about to undergo a definite reorientation." -- -Aamir Mufti University of California, Los Angeles "Venkat Mani's engrossing study of 'bibliomigrancy' makes an important contribution to studies of world literature and the politics of culture, probing the values-and the exclusions-encoded in libraries, translation series, and now the digital archive. Every bibliophile will want to add this sparkling and thought- provoking book to their personal library." -- -David Damrosch Harvard University
B. Venkat Mani is Professor of German at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he is also affiliated with the Center for the History of Print and Digital Culture and the Institute for Regional and International Studies.
