This volume is written for readers with an interest in Lithuania, Lithuanian literature and translation, as well as for scholars interested in concepts such as (inter)cultural dialogue, nation or identity.
Lithuanian literature demonstrates how ideas about nation and culture are not monolithic but always fluid
This book illustrates that the idea of a 'national' literature is profoundly problematic. Chapters on boundaries and crisscrossing show how a nation and its writers' works do not exist in isolation from their history. Stressing migration and (inter)cultural dialogue, authors explore how the characters in the texts establish a sense of belonging both within the context of migrations and within the context of Lithuania since its independence. The final series of essays in this book discusses Lithuanian literature abroad that is in translation.
