One of the most provocative and original voices in contemporary literature, Chinua Achebe here considers the place of literature and art in our society in a collection of essays spanning his best writing and lectures from the last twenty-three years. For Achebe, overcoming goes hand in hand with eradicating the destructive effects of racism and injustice in Western society. He reveals the impediments that still stand in the way of open, equal dialogue between Africans and Europeans, between blacks and whites, but also instills us with hope that they will soon be overcome.

The second of three RNL "samplers." This volume contains essays written by experts on some aspect of a literature or author not in the traditional canon or mainstream of literary studies. Culled from the original world-wide RNL series launched by Dr. Anne Paolucci in 1970, these essays are an excellent introduction to literatures that are not easily accessible to scholars working in traditional European literatures. (A third and last "sampler" will offer RNL essays which deal with the European spectrum.) A short preface by Dr. Anne Paolucci is followed by an Introduction by Gerald Gillespie, Professor Emeritus at Stanford University and former President (now Honorary President) of the International Comparative Literature Association. In his Introduction, Professor Gillespie reviews the history of the unusual series and its parent organization, Council on National Literatures, a project that has been called a "pioneer" effort. This informative volume should prove a welcome addition to the ongoing dialogue, among literary scholars, on ways and means to promote greater global awareness in literary studies generally, and comparative literary studies, in particular.

This is the first of three volumes of essays selected from Review of National Literatures, the prestigious annual series of Coucil on National Literatures (1970 - 2001). Praised here and abroad as a "pioneer" effort and a model of what comparative literary studies should encourage, RNL enjoyed a wide distribution both in the United States and in over forty foreign countries. It offered member libraries and other suscribers carefully prepared "overviews" of literatures not in the traditional canon as well as unusual approaches to familiar European-authors and literary movements. Included in this first RNL "sampler" are essays on multi-comparative literary perspectives, Japanese translators of Shakespeare, the Chinese "Enlightenment," Hungary's "neglected" literatures, and three essays about the important work on early America by Justin Winsor, the first librarian of Harvard and co-founder of the American Historical Association.

From New National to World English Literature offers a personal perspective on the evolution of a major cultural movement that began with decolonization, continued with the assertion of African, West Indian, Commonwealth, and other literatures, and has evolved through postcolonial to world or international English literature. Bruce King, one of the pioneers in the study of the new national literatures and still an active literary critic, discusses the personalities, writers, issues, and contexts of what he considers the most important change in culture since modernism. In this selection of forty-five essays and reviews, King discusses issues such as the emergence and aesthetics of African literature, the question of the existence of a “Nigerian literature”, the place of the new universities in decolonizing culture, the contrasting models of American and Irish literatures, and the changing nature of exile and diasporas. He emphasizes themes such as traditionalism versus modernism, the dangers of cultural assertion, and the relationships between nationalism and internationalism. Special attention is given to Nigerian, West Indian, Australian, Indian, and Pakistani literature.
