Description

Explore how close reading transformed global literary studies in this groundbreaking scholarly work from State University of New York Press. Yael Segalovitz traces the transnational journey of New Critical methodology from the United States to Brazil and Israel during the mid-twentieth century, revealing how this interpretive practice fundamentally shaped modern literature and subject-formation across continents. This book challenges conventional understandings of New Criticism by examining the profound impact of close reading on modernist movements worldwide. Perfect for literary scholars, students of comparative literature, and anyone interested in how critical methods travel and evolve across cultures. The analysis demonstrates that reading practices do more than interpret texts-they actively shape who we become as readers and thinkers, making this essential reading for understanding the global legacies of twentieth-century literary theory.
