Abstract
AbstractApocalyptic literature is seldom discussed in the context of world literature, and apocalyptic writings are rarely, if ever considered part of its content. This is surprising, since apocalyptic literature is able to cross linguistic, social, and cultural boundaries with ease, while several premodern apocalyptic texts and perhaps twice as many modern ones merit inclusion in the canon. Some apocalyptic works are admitted because of their cultural influence and global readership. Others qualify as world literature by virtue of their literary excellence and ability to speak to the human condition in a way that transcends their original social and cultural contexts.
