Multicultural and World Literature Anthologies, comp. Alok Yadav

Last update: 22 Feb. 2011 spacespace(best viewed in a full-size window)

The purpose of this list is to give interested individuals a sense of some of the primary texts available in English or in English translation for the teaching and study of world literature. (A very few anthologies consisting of translations into other languages are also included.) Wherever possible, I have listed the authors and/or works included in an anthology, so one can search for particular authors or works by name to check their availability in English. (Click on the "Edit" button on your web browser and then on "Find (on this page)," or its equivalent, to search for particular items in this document.) Of course, many book-length works by authors from around the world are available in stand-alone translations and these are not included here; both single-author and dual-author collections are also generally excluded. It would be impractical to try to include such works. Where available, bibliographies of translations into English of various literatures of the world are included at the start of each section and these can help one locate such stand-alone translations. I have also, on occasion, included studies of translations of particular bodies of literature into English with these bibliographic titles.

As the previous paragraph suggests, the focus of this resource list is on literatures originally written in languages other than English. Anthologies of works originally composed in English are also covered, but with a focus on Anglophone literatures from outside the United States and the United Kingdom. I have, however, listed anthologies of US and UK literature that have a multicultural or minority literature emphasis. Anthologies of "classical literature" (i.e., the European literature of antiquity) in English translation are not covered in this bibliography.

The bibliography is organized into the following sections, which can also be reached using the navigation bar to the left. But given space limitations the navigation bar is necessarily somewhat compressed, and some of my organizational decisions may require a word of explanation in any case:


| World Literature (general) | Latin America (& Americas in general) | The Caribbean | Subsaharan Africa (& Africa in general) |

| North Africa & the Middle East | South Asia | Central Asia | East Asia | Southeast Asia | Australia & New Zealand |

| Pacific Islands | Eastern Europe & Russia | Commonwealth in general / General Anglophone |

| Canada | Ireland & general Celtic | "Black British" writing | General Francophone | General Hispanic and Lusophone |

| General "Asian" or "Oriental" | Western Europe and general European |

| Multicultural US Literature | Native American Literature | African American Literature | Asian American Literature |

| Latina/o Literature | Arab & Iranian American Literature | Jewish American Literature | Other Ethnic American Literatures |

These regionally and linguistically segregated categories might seem to belie the whole notion of "world literature" as a concept that takes shape when one crosses or complicates such boundaries. But my categorization is merely a reflection of general tendencies in the publication of world literature in English translation. I have tried to suggest some possibilities of cross-cultural interplay by using regional and linguistic categories, in addition to more narrowly national ones, but it would be absurd to pretend that such national categories have no place in organizing the terrain of "world literature."

The navigation bar to the left lists the sections on the various Anglophone, Francophone, Hispanic and Lusophone, and general "Asian or Oriental," as well as the "Black British," Canadian, Irish (and general Celtic) anthologies under "General Anglophone, Francophone, etc." The navigation bar link to "Multicultural Anthologies of US Literature" takes one to that section, as well as to the sections for individual ethnic US literatures. Several of the categories listed as "regions" here (e.g., "East Asia" or "Eastern Europe and Russia" or "Western Europe"), are subdivided into something closer to national-linguistic categories for ease of use (and, again, despite my desire to highlight more transnational and intercultural dynamics).

Needless to say, given the huge terrain involved, this is an ongoing project. I update it periodically: currently it consists of about 1425 items. If you would like to suggest additions or corrections, please contact me via email. (My thanks to those who have helped me in this regard.)


I. Anthologies of World Literature (general)

Includes anthologies that either claim broad international scope or indeed something approaching global coverage. Quite a few of these general "international" or "world literature" anthologies devote most of their space to writers from Europe and North America, but all include at least some writers from other parts of the world.

  • "Mark Van Doren's daring and very successful Anthology of World Poetry has proved that there was at least a craving for the enlargement of our lyrical experience beyond the confines of our native speech. Granted that the best of these efforts are adaptations rather than literal renderings; in the case of the Rubáiyat of Omar Khayyám and Fitzgerald, a hybrid, the fruit of remote collaboration, rather than even an adaptation; still we are the richer by this straining toward the unattainable" (Albert Guérard.

    About this anthology, Timothy Brennan notes: "About sixty-five out of the eighty or so stories were originally written in English or Spanish, and of the remaining fifteen, several are in Portuguese. There is practically nothing from the French Caribbean or from francophone Africa; nothing from lusophone Africa; nothing, surprisingly, from the rich literatures of Bengal or non-English-speaking India (particularly the south); nothing from the Maghreb; almost nothing from the rich Urdu literatures of Pakistan; nothing from the patwah traditions of Jamaica, Trinidad, or Haiti; and nothing based on the oral literatures of Africa or Amerindian peoples, although much was included from the often overlooked areas of China and the Arabic-speaking world" (At Home in the World: Cosmopolitanism Now. Harvard UP, 1997. 50). Moreover, Brennan argues, "many of the stories [selected] seemed geared precisely to expose the failures of alternatives to Westernization, even though such alternatives form a prominent and respectable theme in non-Western writing" (50).

    David Goldblatt, author of The Ball Is Round (2006), characterizes this anthology as "The first truly global survey of writing on the global game. . . . The collection gives a powerful reminder to Anglo-Saxon literary cultures that football--the most global cultural phenomenon of all--has a rich, multivocal literary tradition" (TLS). Still more supplementary materials are available at the book's website. Inevitably, of course, the anthology omits some works that might have been included: e.g., Mario Benedetti's "Left Wing" (a short story "about a soccer player who takes a bribe to throw a game but just cannot help scoring a goal [that] has been called the foundation of Latin American sports literature" [New York Times (18 May 2009)].

  • Timothy Brennan refers to the first edition of this anthology in remarking that, "Large-market textbooks prepared for a postcanonical curriculum by the nation's biggest commercial publishers tend to adopt a deliberate strategy of integration, organizing under themes like 'Gender and Identity' or 'War and Violence' the writing of U.S. feminists, canonical figures of the nineteenth century, Arabic poets, and first-generation American immigrants writing on the theme of ethnicity" (At Home in the World: Cosmopolitanism Now. Harvard UP, 1997. 48). The 4th edition organizes its selections under the following headings: "Origins and Insights," "Gender and Identity," "War and Violence," "Race and Difference," and "Individualism and Community."

Literature Without Borders: International Literature in English for Student Writers. Eds. George R. Bozzini and Cynthia A. Leenerts. Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice-Hall, 2001.
  • Beginning from the recognition that "English has become an international literary language of astonishing reach and diversity" (xi), this anthology includes selections from the various regions of the English language: in "mother lands" of England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland; in "settler" countries of the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa; in former colonies of Jamaica, Trinidad, Barbados, the Leeward and Windward Islands, the Bahamas, and other islands in the Caribbean, and of Belize and Guyana in Central and South America, respectively; in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh; in Liberia, Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone; in Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, Cameroon, Uganda, and Zambia; in Namibia, Botswana, Swaziland, and Lesotho; in Singapore and Hong Kong; in the Philippines, Micronesia, and Puerto Rico (xi). Many of the writers included to represent the other parts of the English-using world, outside the British Isles and the United States, are in fact migrants who have settled in Britain or the United States. This fact, along with the focus on "ethnic" American writers, helps to connect multiculturalism within the United States and cultural diversity abroad. Prose fiction and poetry, with the occasional essay; no drama. All selections from 20th century.

  • Contained in the 1650 pages of these two volumes is "the first global anthology of twentieth-century poetry" (back cover of vol. 1). The anthologies pepper commentaries throughout the selections.

Nonetheless, there is room for some 45 or so poets from these parts as well: Hagiwara Sakutarō, Miyazawa Kenji, Wen Yiduo, Nazim Hikmet, Kusano Shimpei, Yi Sang, Confucius (as rendered by Ezra Pound), Allama Prabhu, Awotunde Aworinde, a selection from the I Ching, and Naftali Bacharach (from vol. 1) and Tōge Sankichi, Yoshioka Minoru, Mohammed Dib, Amos Tutuola, a section on the Tammuzi Poets (from North Africa), Seiichi Nikuni, Chinua Achebe, Adonis, Sujata Bhatt, Tchicaya U Tam'si, Ece Ayhan, Komi Ekpe, a selection on Postwar Japanese Poetry, Takahashi Mutsuo, Malay Roy Choudhury, Mohammed Khaïr-Eddine, Mahmoud Darwish, a section on The Misty Poets (from China), Habib Tengour, and Theresa Hak Kyung Cha (from vol. 2).

  • Covers literature from antiquity to the modern period, from the Middle East, India, China, Japan, Korea, and Europe, and (in the modern period only) Africa and Southeast Asia.

Here on the verge of the twenty-first century we can no longer dismiss any of them as unworthy of our awareness. They are parts of the great tapestry of world literature, which has been woven globally from the beginning--far more globally than most of us have realized" (1).

  • "The title [in bright red] . . . occupies the top half of the cover, and the remainder bears a color photograph of unidentified but likely Trinidadian steel drummers, palm trees rampant" (Cirillo 2004: 233). This title and cover design might be read as reinforcing cultural stereotypes about the Caribbean (the word "rhythm" "powerfully evokes . . . the worst of racial stereotyping in the United States, and this is emphasized by the accompanying photograph") or as evoking the spirit of the Négritude movement (where, in the writings of such figures as Aimé Césaire and Léopold Sédar Senghor, "rhythm" evokes the concept of the African as "intrinsically vital and energetic and possessed of a creative imagination superior to the desiccated linearity of the metropolitan mind") (Cirillo 2004: 234-35). In his introduction, James T. Livingston notes that US images of the region are typically "the frivolous product of tourism" (2); his introduction, though only 14 pages long, "is a masterful attempt to place this 'emerging' literature in its historic and political setting for the American reader" (Cirillo 2004: 236).

The Anchor Book of Modern Arabic Fiction. Ed. Denys Johnson-Davies. New York: Anchor, 2006.
  • "Alongside some marquee authors, there are North Africans whose work has rarely, if ever, been translated into English. Many of the translations (along with an excellent introduction) are by Johnson-Davies, perhaps the most distinguished Arabic-to-English translator now living. If anything, the anthology is too full. It includes 79 writers from 14 countries, and some of them get only a page or so" (Robert F. Worth. "One Language, Many Voices." Rev. of The Anchor Book of Modern Arabic Fiction.

An Anthology of Classical Urdu Love Lyrics. Ed. David J. Matthews and Christopher Shackle. London: Oxford UP, 1972.
  • Includes work by 22 poets. "This is the first anthology of traditional Urdu verse to be published with English translations and in some ways it is an excellent one. The title is mildly misleading for, as the authors explain in their preface, it is an anthology of the main genres of shorter poems existing in Urdu, viz. the ghazal, the ruba'i and the qit'a: it excludes the more extended masnawi, marsiya, and qasida. . . . the appelation ‘love lyrics' indicates that this is another attempt—in the tradition of the late A. J. Arberry and of Ralph Russell—to nourish a taste in contemporary Western readers for the poetry of Islamic lands. In the original poetic traditions a high value is placed upon literary artifice, complicated word-games, and the deployment and variation of schematized metaphysical concepts. The translators prefer to dwell upon conventions of love—a theme after all of universal interest—richly exotic but showing remarkable parallels to those prevalent in Europe in the medieval period. . . . The recent loosening of Western attitudes towards sex has made the task of such popularizers easier" (Simon Digby, reviewing the work in the Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies 37.2 [1974]: 476).

K'uei Hsing: A Repository of Asian Literature in Translation. Ed. Wuji Liu. Bloomington: Indiana UP, 1974.
  • Reviews: Francis A. Westbrook. Journal of Asian Studies 36.1 (1976): 121; David A. Knechtges. Journal of the American Oriental Society 100.3 (1980): 381-82.

    Includes selections in four Asian languages (Chinese, Japanese, Tibetan, and Mongolian), ranging from the third century A.D. to the present, and employing "a wide range of translation techniques" (Westbrook; Knechtges 381). Three-quarters of the translations are from Chinese: the extant work (13 poems) of the little-known T'ang poet Lu Yin (trans. by Hugh M. Stimson), Hsiang Hsiu's ‘Fu on Remembering the Past' (Roger Bailey), forty ‘Tzu-yeh Songs' on spring and summer (Michael Workman), thirty tz'u lyrics of Hsin Ch'i-chi (Irving Yucheng Lo), and a versified selection from Wang Kai's Mustard Seed Garden Manual of Painting (Henry W. Wells). Chinese prose works also include Ssu-ma Kuang's ‘Instructions on Frugality for My Son K'ang' (A. S. Sariti), a brief descriptive essay on an early Sung bamboo pavilion tower by Wang Yü-ch'eng (Jan W. Walls), and Lao She's story ‘Neighbors' (William A. Lyell, Jr.).

    "Japanese literature is represented by seven tales from the Yamato-monotagari (Gerald B. Mathias), and selections from the twentieth-century poets Tanikawa Shuntarō (Harold Wright) and Kusano Shimpei (Kamaike Susuma and Cid Corman). The volume concludes with translations of the Oirat-Mongolian ‘Manuhari Jātaka-Tale' (John R. Krueger), some Tibetan love songs of the Sixth Dalai Lama (Charles Hartman)," and a discussion by Professor F. A. Bischoff of the ‘goblin' K'uei Hsing, pictured in the frontispiece; "Each selection has a preface, and usually adequate explanatory footnotes" (Westbrook). Knechtges notes some small disputable translations in the Chinese selections and sees more significant misconstrual in Bischoff's essay (382).

  • The anthology "begins with the verse of eighteen poets from the classical period of Azerbaijani literature--i.e., from the eleventh to the end of the nineteenth century. . . . The largest portion of the book is given over to selections from the work of forty-two poets from the twentieth century. . . . The final hundred pages are devoted to folklore, including excerpts from the national epics Dedekorkut, Asli and Kerimi and Koeroglu as well as from the nineteenth-century epic poem Kachag Nabi (The Fugitive Nabi). . . . The folklore section also offers several pieces by ashugs or folk poets, and a number of examples from the bayat subgenre. . . . The translators have made an effort to do justice to the originals. Their translations seem, however, to have been based on Russian versions. . . . the book also fails to include selections from several major Azerbaijani writers such as Mamed Said, Ordubady, Jafar Jalil and Suleiman Rahim" (review by Baymirza Hayit.

He annotates, finally, with translations of Gaelic and Scots words used, glosses of slang, recondite, or otherwise eccentric usage, and even paraphrases where the regional demotic challenges comprehension" (Robert Mahony.
