The series "Katowice Interdisciplinary and Comparative Studies" publishes works of scholars who, on the one hand, wish to see literary works in the unceasing dialogue with other arts and, on the other, want to rethink literary theory. It contains essays on a wide range of topics which include studies of individual texts placing them in a rich web of comparative references as well as in-depth investigations of particular notions in their historical and multicultural contexts.
