The essays collected here represent the wide field of studies that has characterized Wolfgang Zach's own scholarship. Issues of identity, language and liminality reappear throughout these works, which include new critiques of traditional subjects such as Shakespeare, Yeats and Joyce, essays on immigrant writing in Australia, Canada and India, as well as works on contemporary authors such as Wilson Harris, Chang-rae Lee and Brian Friel. The collection is international in authorship as well as investigative scope, featuring scholars from seventeen countries in six continents. In a period when postcolonial literature and theory have transformed traditional perceptions of the English literary canon, Wolfgang Zach, through his own research and his active fostering of international academic networks, has demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to the scholarly dialogue that addresses this fundamental and richly complex paradigm shift.
