Abstract
These papers deal with the relations between culture and literature, and with cultural resonances between East and West. Moreover, almost all of the contributions show something of the complicated processes of social change which were set in motion during the colonial period and which are still reflected in the literature of many modern independent nations. The critics here, and the writers they discuss, are particular examples of the meeting of Occidental and Oriental traditions. The papers were written in 1981 by participants associated with the Contact Literature Project of the Culture Learning Institute at the East-West Center, Honolulu. It is hoped that these essays will serve to give the reader an idea not only of the theoretical questions relating to this approach to literary studies, but also a fair sample of the possibilities for creative investigation in this field. This collection of occasional papers, therefore, makes no claim to offer the last word on the various topics treated. In many ways, the reader should regard it as 'work-in-progress'.
