Abstract: Literary Transnationalism(s), co-edited by Dagmar Vandebosch and Theodoor Louis D’haen, reexamines the concept of transnationalism which has attracted fairly considerable attention in different fields so far and explores, on multiple aspects, some relevant issues in literary studies in terms of transnationalism’s viewpoints and approaches. It is a book that offers ample materials for research and different entry points for the deliberation of literary transnationalism. Its discussion of the current society and politics reflects the concerns with realities and reveals the practical significance of conducting literary studies from the perspective of transnationalism or on the basis of its methodology. Unlike the previous works on literary transnationalism, this book goes beyond the model of discussing literary transnationalism within one particular country and builds its claim about the importance of literary transnationalism on several footholds. Literary Transnationalism(s) is of great significance to literary studies in the context of the ever-increasing transnational practices in the world today.
