Small World: An Academic Romance (1984) is a humorous "campus novel" by the British writer David Lodge. It is a sequel to Lodge's 1975 novel, Changing Places. Small World uses the main characters (Professors Philip Swallow and Morris Zapp and their wives) from Changing Places and adds many new ones. It follows them around the international circuit of academic literary conferences. It is highly, and self-reflexively, allusive to quests for the Holy Grail, especially to Spenser's Faerie Queene.

  • Small World: An Academic Romance (1984) is a humorous "campus novel" by the British writer David Lodge. It is a sequel to Lodge's 1975 novel, Changing Places. Small World uses the main characters (Professors Philip Swallow and Morris Zapp and their wives) from Changing Places and adds many new ones. It follows them around the international circuit of academic literary conferences. It is highly, and self-reflexively, allusive to quests for the Holy Grail, especially to Spenser's Faerie Queene. Characters discuss the romance and aspects of that genre in a way that comments directly on the action in the book, and an important (but physically and intellectually impotent) literary theorist is named Arthur Kingfisher in direct reference to Arthurian legend and the Fisher King. Small World was turned into a six-hour mini-series for British television in 1988.
  • Dünya Küçük, İngiliz roman yazarı David Lodge'ın 1984 yılında yazdığı, kampüs romanları serisinin ikincisidir. Eser, 1975 yılında yayınlanan Yerleri Değiştirme'nin devamıdır. Romanda, hem serinin ilk kitabındaki baş karakterler Morris Zapp, Philip Swallow ve eşleri hem de yeni karakterler yer alır. Dünya Küçük'te uluslararası düzeydeki tüm akademik edebi konferanslar ve bu konferanslarda yaşananlar konu edilmiştir. Romanda Edmund Spenser'ın Faerie Queene'e göndermeler vardır. Karakterler romansı türünü tartışırlar ve bu türün özellikleri kitapta da görülebilir. Arthur Kingfisher karakterinin ismi ise hem Kral Arthur efsanesine hem de Balıkçı Kral'a bir göndermedir. Lodge, sonraki senelerde, romanın baş karakterlerinden Morris Zapp'i yaratırken edebiyat eleştirmeni Stanley Fish'ten esinlendiğini açıkladı. Dünya Küçük, 1988 yılında İngiliz BBC televizyonu tarafından altı saatlik bir mini dizi olarak çekildi.
