The incisive comparisons she draws between all these stories highlight various ways in which local-color literature represented a locus for political and cultural dissent during a period when European thought was saturated with the totalizing force of a post-Enlightenment drive toward modernization. This pioneering study opens the way for further informed comparative analysis of the origins, forms, and influences of this distinctive form of writing.” —\u003ci\u003eAnne Markey; Trinity College, Dublin; Comparative Literature Studies\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Full of clever literary insights and draws comparisons between texts written in different languages in ambitious and intelligent ways.” —\u003ci\u003eJames Moran, University of Nottingham, Comparative Critical Studies\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781441119001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Continuum","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":40597530181838,"sku":"9781441119001","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781441119001","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
