The Vintage Book of Modern Indian Literature
Author: Amit Chaudhuri
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 037571300X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
In recent years American readers have been thrilling to the work of such Indian writers as Salman Rushdie and Vikram Seth. Now this extravagant and wonderfully discerning anthology unfurls the full diversity of Indian literature from the 1850s to the present, presenting today’s brightest talents in the company of their distinguished forbearers and likely heirs. The thirty-eight authors collected by novelist Amit Chaudhuri write not only in English but also in Hindi, Bengali, and Urdu. They include Rabindranath Tagore, arguably the first international literary celebrity, chronicling the wistful relationship between a village postal inspector and a servant girl, and Bibhuti Bhushan Banerjee, represented by an excerpt from his classic novel about an impoverished Bengali childhood, Pather Panchali. Here, too, are selections from Nirad C. Chaudhuri’s Autobiography of an Unknown Indian, R. K. Narayan’s The English Teacher, and Salman Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children alongside a high-spirited nonsense tale, a drily funny account of a pre-Partition Muslim girlhood, and a Bombay policier as gripping as anything by Ed McBain. Never before has so much of the subcontinent’s writing been made available in a single volume.

Contemporary Indian Theatre
Author: Ravi Chaturvedi
Publisher:
ISBN: 9788131608562
Category : Theater
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Crossover of various disciplines is an inherent phenomenon of Indian theatre and performing arts. With the coming of western influence during the colonial, as well as postcolonial, periods the character of modern Indian theatre has metamorphisized, which is often reflected in the theatre. The larger sections of the Indian theatre scene belong to the experimental theatre, which derives its energy and motivation from the classical and folk/tribal theatre, and is an interdisciplinary theatre. Music, dance, acrobatic movements, and gesticulation of emotions are the integral aspects of such theatre. The idea of artistic crossovers in the performing arts does not solely refer to exchanges between artistic disciplines. Art, as a whole, can be seen as a discipline in an interdisciplinary relationship with other fields, such as education or applied sciences. There are also a lot of negotiations between art and subjects that are already interdisciplinary, such as feminism, spirituality, the environment, and more. The discourses on these subjects inspire many artists to experiment in contemporary Indian theatre by mixing forms. The collection presents a varied panoramic view of these artistic crossovers. [Subject: South Asian Studies, India Studies, Theatre Studies, Cultural Studies]

Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 251
Book Description
This anthology of essays maps the divergent issues that have become relevant in contemporary Indian English poetry and drama. By providing a clear idea about the new themes, techniques and methods used by the Indian English poets and playwrights to address the issues emerging in the changing socio-cultural scenario, particularly during the post-globalization period, the essays offer insightful observations on canon formation and its reception. It is high time to consider afresh whether the canons of Indian English poetry and drama have widened their scope to include innovative forms of writing or whether they have evolved significantly to generate novel perspectives. These questions, which are linked with the issue of canon formation and its reception are intricately woven into the fabric of these essays. This anthology will respond to the scholarly interests of inquisitive students, research scholars and academics in the field of Indian English literature.
