The essays in the volume read a wide corpus of literature, ranging from Han Kang, Homer, Renee Gladman, Proust, and Flaubert to Yoruba ideophones, Browning, Anne Carson, Jenichiro Oyabe, and Ben Lerner.

If we consider the event as a proper name, reserved for monumental changes, crises, transitions, and ruptures that are by their very nature unnameable or unthinkable, then this volume aims to establish an encounter between such eventhood as it impacts literary works and the act of reading literature. As the event continues to serve as a valuable analytical framework for work undertaken within the newer subdisciplines of literary and critical theory, including close reading, bio- politics, world literature, and eco- criticism, this volume endeavors to update the scholarship in this area and highlight the recent resurgence of interest in the concept. The book offers both a retrospective assessment of the significance of events to literary studies and the literary humanities, as well as contemporary and prospective appraisals of the same, making it appealing to scholars and instructors in the fields of literary theory, comparative literature, and philosophical aesthetics alike.
In addition to a specialist focus on thinkers such as Derrida, Badiou, Deleuze, and Malabou, the essays in this volume engage with a wide range of literature, spanning from Han Kang, Homer, Renee Gladman, Proust, and Flaubert to Yoruba ideophones, Browning, Anne Carson, Jenichiro Oyabe, and Ben Lerner.
