A History of the Indian Novel in English
Author: Ulka Anjaria
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107079969
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 449
Book Description
A History of the Indian Novel in English traces the development of the Indian novel from its beginnings in the late nineteenth century up until the present day. Beginning with an extensive introduction that charts important theoretical contributions to the field, this History includes extensive essays that shed light on the legacy of English in Indian writing. Organized thematically, these essays examine how English was "made Indian" by writers who used the language to address specifically Indian concerns. Such concerns revolved around the question of what it means to be modern as well as how the novel could be used for anti-colonial activism. By the 1980s, the Indian novel in English was a global phenomenon, and India is now the third largest publisher of English-language books. Written by a host of leading scholars, this History invites readers to question conventional accounts of India's literary history.

Cross- Culturalism in Indian English Novels
Author: Dr. Chelle Naresh
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1387168541
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 116
Book Description
Human exodus as a biological occurrence has become a predictable component of human history, and this puts man in a scenario in which he becomes the most extensively diffused social animal, the explorer on the move. Writers, poets, critics and theoreticians have tried their best to capture and expose these harrowing experiences of displacement and dislocation which have to a large extent altered the sentiments of people culturally, socially and linguistically. Multicultural societies today are a consequence of the widespread movements as a result of diaspora, which has been occurring at different levels of social echelon, with varying enormity and for as many diversified reasons.

The Girl Who Ate Books
Author: Nilanjana Roy
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 9350297124
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 366
Book Description
A unique collection of essays from one of India's best-loved critics From Bankimchandra Chatterjee to G.V. Desani to Vikram Seth, Indian writing in English has come a long way over the last hundred years. And Nilanjana Roy - voracious eater of books and sharpest of critics - has taken stock of it all. One of India's most widely read journalists, Roy has been writing reviews, columns, essays and features for over two decades. The Girl Who Ate Books revisits the best of these occasional pieces and weaves them together with a set of new personal essays. From early memories of living in a house made of books to encounters with men and women who hoarded books to the author's first taste of the printed word, this is a memoir of reading, loving and living with books like no other. Bringing together writers across generations - from the obscure Sake Dean Mahomet to the mischievous Khushwant Singh to the fiery Arundhati Roy - The Girl Who Ate Books gives us a ringside view of the theatre of Indian writing in English over several decades, and especially the last two. Written in the author's understated but unfailingly elegant style, this is an essential collection for those who live to read and read to live.

Transcultural Memory and Globalised Modernity in Contemporary Indo-English Novels
Author: Nadia Butt
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110387115
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
This book places transcultural memory in the South Asian cultural and literary context. Divided into two parts, the book first defines transcultural memory in the age of globalised modernity both as a theory and social practice. Then it examines contemporary Indo-English novels from India and Pakistan with the theoretical and methodological tool of transcultural memory to shed new light on the connection between memory and modernity, and memory and South Asian cultures in the wake of new social and political transformations on the Indian subcontinent. A special focus on commemorative tropes in the novels not only show the possibility of a dialogue with different versions of the past, but also how such a dialogue shapes processes of remembrance between and beyond borders. Hence, the books comes up with alternative ways of reading the Indo-English novels, divesting the concept of (trans)cultural memory from its Euro- centrism and claiming it as equally significant in comprehending the new configurations of memory and modernity in non-Western locations.
