Notable for its recognition of the crucial, but often ignored, dialectical relationship between political economy and literary production, Inter-imperiality provides powerful examples of how a scholar can engage with one problematic across disciplines using literary texts as an anchor. This big bold book is a major intervention in continuing debates on the emergence of literature in relation to a world defined by the phenomenon of empires of time and space. -- Simon Gikandi, author of * Slavery and the Culture of Taste *

Notable for its recognition of the crucial, but often ignored, dialectical relationship between political economy and literary production, Inter-imperiality provides powerful examples of how a scholar can engage with one problematic across disciplines, using literary texts as an anchor. This big, bold book is a major intervention in continuing debates on the emergence of literature in relation to a world defined by the phenomenon of empires of time and space. -- Simon Gikandi, author of * Slavery and the Culture of Taste * Inter-imperiality is valuable because it . . . reconfigures and reintegrates an already extant set of specific scholarship into a much larger, much more general academic space. In doing so, the parameters of what is 'given' in intellectual discourse subtly change and re-accommodate the new arrangement. We move 'forward' as societies precisely because of books such as Doyle's. -- Ian Almond * Comparative Literature *
