摘　　要：The purpose of the present paper is to explore the ways in which John Steinbeck utilizes the ideas of cosmopolitanism and socialism in his masterpiece The Grapes of Wrath(1939)interweaving them into the U.S.reality of the 1930s.It also deals with the term“global literature”,taking it as a starting point for the analysis of Steinbeck’s novel.Taking the lead of Wai-Chee Dimock,the author views American literature as no longer a sovereign literary domain,but as a blend of literatures that are ever evolving and multiplying,interweaving with other cultures.From this standpoint,the paper discusses The Grapes of Wrath in terms of transnational imagination,placing it into the scope of the“world literature”.It is an attempt to identify the“connective tissues”that make the novel belong to the global literature and investigate how they are represented in the text.
