Drawing on comparative literary studies, postcolonial book history, and multiple, literary, and alternative modernities, this collection approaches the study of alternative literary modernities from the perspective ofcomparative print culture. The term comparative print culture designates a wide range of scholarly practices that discover, examine, document,and/or historicize various printed materials and their reproduction, circulation,and uses across genres, languages, media, and technologies, all within a comparative orientation. This book explores alternativeliterary modernities mostly by highlighting the distinct ways in which literaryand cultural print modernities outside Europe evince the repurposing of Europeansystems and cultures of print and further deconstruct their perceived universality.
