Mediterranean Slavery and World Literature Captivity Genres from Cervantes to Rousseau Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature Series
Coordonnateur : Klarer Mario
Mediterranean Slavery and World Literature is a collection of selected essays about the transformations of captivity experiences in major early modern texts of world literature and popular media, including works by Cervantes, de Vega, Defoe, Rousseau, and Mozart. Where most studies of Mediterraneanslavery, until now, have been limited to historical and autobiographical accounts, this volume looks specifically at literary adaptations from a multicultural perspective.
