Through contemporary theories of cosmopolitanism and analyses of literary texts such as Heart of Darkness, Lilith's Brood, and Moby-Dick, this book explores the cosmopolitan impulses behind the literary imagination. Patell argues that cosmopolitanism regards human difference as an opportunity to be embraced rather than a problem to be solved.

Cyrus R. K. Patell is Associate Professor of English at New York University Abu Dhabi, USA. He is the author most recently of US Emergent Literatures: From Multiculturalism to Cosmopolitanism in the Late Twentieth Century.
