"Encountering Buddhism in Twentieth-Century British and American Literature explores
the ways in which twentieth-century literature has been influenced by Buddhism, and
has been, in turn, a major factor in bringing about Buddhism's increasing spread and
influence in the West. Focussing on Britain and the United States, Buddhism's influence
on a range of key literary texts will be examined in the context of those societies'
evolving modernity. Writers discussed include T. S. Eliot, Hermann Hesse, Virginia
Woolf, Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, J. D. Salinger, Iris Murdoch, Maxine Hong Kingston.
This book brings together for the first time a series of context-rich interpretations
that demonstrate the importance of literature in this ongoing cultural change in Britain
and the United States" ; "A wide-ranging critical examination of western literature's
engagement with Buddhism in the twentieth century"
