This volume digs into the most fundamental questions about the construction of literary place, presenting an elaborate and multifaceted case study from the semi-periphery.

Anthony Pym, Distinguished Professor of Translation and Intercultural Studies, University of Melbourne, Australia
By framing Sweden as a "semi-peripheral" space of world literary networks, <i>Northern Crossings </i>opens up new cross-ways of scrutinizing translation-flows, creation of readerships and recognition of literary works through the Nobel Prize in the public sphere. An interesting co-authored work which underscores benefits of collaborative work in World Literature Studies.
