Global commodities, from tea and sugar to coal and oil, have had an enduring presence in literary texts. Commodity cultures have also shaped literary ones, from the early influence of the literary coffeehouse to the serial novels facilitated by print's own emergence as a mass commodity. This book offers an accessible overview of the many intersections between literature and commodities. Tracing the stories of goods as diverse as coffee, rum, opium, guano, oil and lithium, as they appear across a range of texts, periods, areas, and genres, the chapters bring together existing scholarship on literature and commodity culture with new perspectives from world-literary, postcolonial and Indigenous studies, Marxist and feminist criticism, the environmental and energy humanities, and book history. How, this volume asks, have commodities shaped literary forms and modes of reading? And how has literature engaged with the world-making trajectories and transformations of commodities?

The book offers an original perspective on the reception of Bollywood cinema by opening up new vistas and new sensibilities with visceral or corporeal immediacy. With a firm grasp of the complete filmic archive, the book brings new and original insights into Bollywood’s dominant genres, notably the mythological, the Arabian Nights fantasies, the sentimental, the gothic ‘Uncanny’ and the new avant-garde. The work imbricates aesthetic response with lived experience, the latter always defined by a sense of loss, nostalgia and ‘unbelonging’.
