Review of A Manifold Voice: Studies in Commonwealth Literature by William Walsh; and Literature in Action: Studies in Continental and Commonwealth Society by M.C. Bradbrook
Abstract
The concept of 'world' or 'Commonwealth' literature has been seized on several times recently as a solution to the chronic problem of stitching separate patches of articles, lectures, and reviews into an apparently coherent book. The accepted scheme is to put the disparate pieces together with a few prefatory nods and becks towards commonality of language or interesting variety in social structure, or both.
