Description

Mediterranean Slavery and World Literature examines how early modern writers transformed captivity experiences into compelling literary narratives. This Routledge collection brings together selected essays exploring major works by Cervantes, de Vega, Defoe, Rousseau, and Mozart from a multicultural perspective. Unlike previous historical and autobiographical studies, this volume takes a distinctly literary approach to Mediterranean slavery, analysing how captivity genres evolved across different cultures and time periods. The essays consider adaptations and reinterpretations of these themes in world literature and popular media, offering fresh insights into how early modern texts engaged with slavery, cultural encounter, and human resilience. Perfect for scholars, students, and readers interested in historical literature, comparative studies, and the cultural significance of captivity narratives in shaping modern literary tradition.

Key Features

Part of Routledge's Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature series, connecting literary studies with cultural and historical analysis.

Explores how captivity genres transformed and adapted across different literary traditions and popular media forms.
