As the cultural environment of the twenty first century comes into clear focus, Cambridge Studies in Twenty-First
Century. Literature and culture presents a series of monographs that undertakes the most penetrating and religious analysis of
contemporary culture and thoughts. The series is driven by perception that critical thinking today is in a state of transition. The
global forces that produce cultural forms are entering into powerful new alignments, which demand new analytical vocabularies
in the wake of later twentieth century theory.
