Each with their own logic, fictional and historical worlds provide different ways to view reality. This book is about those worlds, past and present, and it concentrates on literature and history as two of the keys to culture. Underneath a dazzling variety of topics is a concern for how the world and fictions of the world are framed, how authors and readers interact in representation and interpretation, how translation is a key to knowledge and empire, and communication across ages.
