Some Critical Reflections on Turkish Literature as World Literature

Abstract

This unconventionally long book review elaborates on the edited volume Turkish Literature as World Literature and how the idea of world literature is theoretically or methodologically tackled in the case of Turkish literature. This review thus meditates on the strengths and shortcomings of the volume, particularly those of David Damrosch’s approach to world literature proposed by the editors in the introduction to examine the various aspects and influences of Turkish literature on a global scale. In this sense, it critically discusses the theoretical, conceptual, and methodological issues offered by the articles in the volume, with a focus on the introduction.
