Explorations of the multilingual cosmopolitanism of the Ottoman literary scene are complemented by examples of cross-generational intertextual encounters.

With its case studies, the volume seeks to propel world literature theories to unexplored horizons. * Beyza Lorenz, Lecturer in Turkish Language and Literature, University of California Los Angeles, USA *\u003cbr\u003eThese 12 essays present a kaleidoscopic view of original reflections on Turkish literary writing from the 1850s until today by authors from Namik Kemal to Orhan Pamuk. In their detailed overview, the editors scrutinize previous approaches to Turkish literature through lenses provided by world literature studies, which they critically approach by unsettling the foundational concepts of center and periphery. Among the topics discussed in this brilliant contribution to world literature studies are 19th-century considerations of world literature by Ottoman authors, transnational literary exchanges, political internationalization, and translation. Challenging and reformulating conventional ways of thinking about modern Turkish literature, the essays in the volume delineate new ways to consider how Turkish literature becomes world literature. * Selim S.
