Modern Epic: The World System from Goethe to Garcia Marquez
Franco Moretti
Building a theory of the modern epic which has provided many of the "sacred texts" of Western literary culture, this work covers epics from "Faust" to "One Hundred Years of Solitude". The West's reception of these texts constitutes a ritual of self-absolution for centuries of colonialism.
