The Semiotics of Exile in Literature

Exile here means more than moving from one country to another. These essays treat it as geographical dislocation and as cultural and psychological uprootedness, and they bring those forms together in a comparison of literary works.

The book examines the semiotics of exile and draws conclusions about how photography carries meaning, what gives tragedy its value, the prototypes of the artist, and the construction of a female mythos.

H. Zeng contributes both to the study of individual writers and to comparative literature more broadly. Palgrave Macmillan published the book in 2010 as a first edition.ISBN-13: 9780230104471.
