From the current vantage point of the transformation of books and libraries, Recoding World Literature presents a historical account of world literature. By locating translation, publication, and circulation on routes of Bibliomigrancy--physical and virtual movement of books--this book claims that world literature is culturally determined, historically conditioned, and politically charged.
