Abstract:

What are the connections between literature and culture, and between
literature and cultural change? Literature and its conventions are obviously
subject to cultural change, and can be used as documentary evidence of
particular aspects of culture and cultural change. But how are its aesthetic
dimensions and cognitive affordances related to such change, both within the
intrinsic dynamics of cultures as systems of signification and in the manifold
contacts with other cultures? And how does literature itself contribute to
cultural change?

The essays in this volume examine the impact of cultural change on the
evolution of literature, and they investigate how literature – from the early
modern period to the present – has been an active agent in motivating,
instigating or hindering cultural change, trying to speed it up or slow it
down. Ranging from early modern drama to poetry of the First World War and
from contemporary ecopoetry to migrant literature of the 1950s, they explore
questions of literature and cultural change from theoretical and historical
perspectives in literary and cultural studies.
