This book interrogates the concept of the poet across a wide range of traditions and philosophies of creativity rarely studied side by side, carving out unexplored spaces of negotiation and intersections between literature, aesthetics and philosophy. Ghosh demonstrates an original method of 'global comparison' that displaces the categories that have underpinned comparative literature approaches so far. Going beyond comparatism and reformulating the chronological patterns of reading, he introduces new methodologies, and new theoretical and epistemic triggers, for reading literature. By moving between theories of poetry and literature from widely separated times, contexts, and cultures, this book shows the relevance of canonical texts to a theory of the future as marked by post-global concerns.
