Description
A Common Strangeness: A New Approach to Literary and Cultural Studies Jacob Edmond's A Common Strangeness offers a fresh perspective on literary and cultural studies, exploring how binary oppositions such as East and West continue to shape our understanding of the world. Through a multilingual and multilateral approach, Edmond examines poetic responses to key events in modern history, including the Cultural Revolution, perestroika, and the collapse of the Soviet Union. By tracing encounters between poets from different cultures and backgrounds, Edmond reveals a shared concern with strangeness that challenges traditional binary oppositions and sheds new light on their historical underpinnings. 272 pages, paperback.
