Each thus differs in origin, literary tradition and development, and they reach disparate reading publics both nationally and internationally. This book attempts to bridge these differences by introducing to the reading public in English within one volume for the first time, the literary history, development and significant writers of each literature. By situating these in their shared common historical context, the book reveals how the literatures are each unique yet ultimately, Singaporean. Lists of translations and digital resources enable readers, moreover, to explore the literatures on their own.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Straits Times Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40596070891555,"sku":"9789814747370","price":16.3,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2514\/8624\/files\/DSC_9070.jpg?v=1727859100","url":"https:\/\/wardahbooks.mom\/products\/literature-singapore-chronicles","provider":"Wardah Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
