The Routledge Companion to World‑Literature and the Environment takes a broad, global overview of the history, present and potential futures of environmental and literary studies, demonstrating that world‑literature is itself a world‑ecological force.Over 36 chapters, the collection moves from early modern imperial activity through to the contemporary climate emergency. This book is organised into seven thematic sections: Commodity Frontiers and Extraction; Fossil Fuel Energetics; Food and Land; Oceans, Fresh Water and Hydropolitics; Disease, Toxicity and Social Reproduction; Emergencies, Wars and Disasters; and Apocalypse and Insurgency. With coverage stretching across Africa, the Americas, Australasia and Oceania, East Asia, the Persian Gulf, South Asia and more, the Companion takes a multilingual approach, appearing in English yet also tackling texts originally written in world languages including Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, Portuguese and Spanish, as well as texts containing translated elements of Indigenous languages. Chapters examine multiple genres, modes and media, including novels, short stories, poetry, drama, graphic narratives, nonfiction prose and oral literature. Weaving together eco‑materialist approaches to the aesthetic registration of humanity‑in‑nature, the environmental history of capitalism and world‑literary methods of comparativism, this Companion acts as a large‑scale guide for new readers and researchers interested in postcolonial studies, global or world‑literature, ecocriticism and the environmental humanities. At the same time, it provides an interventionist account of innovative methodological priorities and areas of topical focus for advanced scholars.

With its own unique, complex and international literary culture that straddles many different forms of biographical writing, this is the first interdisciplinary collection to investigate the links between cricket and life narrative. Concentrating on the lives of professional cricketers, but also drawing on how ‘cricketing life’ is narrated by amateurs, fans and journalists, this book unpacks and challenges cricket’s own mythic constructions of player ‘types’, examines how such roles help build player profiles and celebrity status outside the game and also explores the intimate links between cricket and issues of race, class, gender and communal or national belonging. With coverage of biographies, autobiographies, essays, diaries, memoirs, and travelogues, as well as testimonies, documentaries, podcasts and even twitter feeds, an array of international and field-leading scholars consider all major cricket-playing ‘nations’ – England, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka and the West Indies – and assess writing linked to some of the game’s global megastars, including Don Bradman, Viv Richards, Shane Warne, Sachin Tendulkar, Shahid Afridi and Kumar Sangakkara.With the popularity of sports life narratives, and the scant academic attention given to them, Cricket and its Life Narratives extends the domains of life writing, going to bat for the different ways in which popular, physical, cultural activities and life journeys are recounted and explained. In addition, given cricket’s crucial place in Britain’s imperial history, analysis of cricket’s life narratives casts new light on the importance of such modes of self-presentation for the development of English Literature as well as for literary studies ‘after empire’ internationally.

This book analyses cricket’s place in Anglophone Caribbean literature. It examines works by canonical authors – Brathwaite, Lamming, Lovelace, Naipaul, Phillips and Selvon – and by understudied writers – including Agard, Fergus, John, Keens-Douglas, Khan and Markham. It tackles short stories, novels, poetry, drama and film from the Caribbean and its diaspora. Its literary readings are couched in the history of Caribbean cricket and studies by Hilary Beckles and Gordon Rohlehr. C.L.R James’ foundational Beyond a Boundary provides its theoretical grounding. Literary depictions of iconic West Indies players – including Constantine, Headley, Worrell, Walcott, Sobers, Richards, and Lara – feature throughout. The discussion focuses on masculinity, heroism, father-son dynamics, physical performativity and aesthetic style. Attention is also paid to mother-daughter relations and female engagement with cricket, with examples from Anim-Addo, Breeze, Wynter and others. Cricket holds a prominent place in the history, culture, politics and popular imaginary of the Caribbean. This book demonstrates that it also holds a significant and complicated place in Anglophone Caribbean literature.
