This book was released on 2017-08-21 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The literary canon implies the evaluation or estimation of certain literary texts as the most important during a particular time. The canon is not merely a set of texts; it is a set of standards, evaluative procedures and values. Belonging to a canon confers a guarantee of literary greatness. A canon is formed, by a particular group, to channelize cultural hegemony over others, or, can be constructed, by a governed group, to bring about cultural symmetry. The rise of diverse literatures in English in different parts of the world after the colonial rule of England was the consequence of an urge to articulate a cultural equilibrium or an urge to strike back. The process of canon formation is also a focused and bigoted act, and is always carried out to accomplish certain self-centred objectives. It is commonly accepted that canon formation is executed to accomplish or naturalize certain ideological functions. In the sphere of Indian English literature, Indian English fiction after the end of the 1980s has emerged as a new “canon”. This book looks into the process of literary canon formation in Indian universities, and examines such fiction as an alternative literary canon and as an anti-imperialistic response to the British literary canon. The book ascertains the anti-imperialistic design involved in forming the canon of post-1980 Indian English fiction, examines the gradual emerging trends in such fiction, and discerns the role of language, culture, and native ethos in the formation of a canon. It also differentiates post-1980s Indian English fiction from British fiction, bhasa fiction, and even from pre-1980s Indian English fiction.

This book was released on 2023-06-26 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the pages of this book lies a captivating journey that delves into the origin and development of the English novel, the realm of Indian English Writing, and the profound literary contributions of the renowned author, Chaman Nahal. Nahal's insightful work sheds light on the rift that emerged due to the insulating attitudes of the ruling class, unravelling the impact on both sides of this colonial encounter. As the narrative unfolds, the book meticulously traces the gradual encroachment of materialism within society, leading to a gradual erosion of spirituality. The multifaceted themes explored within these pages paint a vivid tapestry of human emotions and experiences. Love, affirmation, vanity, absurdity, existential questions of life and death, and the haunting memories of a traumatic partition are intricately woven into the fabric of Nahal's narrative. Through his novels, Nahal imparts a powerful message, urging readers to embrace life in its entirety. From the joyous celebrations to the tumultuous adversities, Nahal reveals that life is worth embracing, even in the face of its most challenging moments. His words resonate with an affirmative psychological orientation, guiding readers to manage their emotions in a way that fosters a sense of dignity and forges a path filled with hope. Within the pages of this exceptional book, readers will find themselves captivated by Nahal's mastery of storytelling and his ability to craft characters that resonate deeply within the human psyche. It is a book that leaves an indelible mark on the reader's soul, a testament to the enduring power of words and their ability to illuminate the depths of the human experience.

Book excerpt: "This is a remarkable collection of information on Indian women's writing written originally in English. Beginning from the 19th century, it introduces 444 writers of poetry and fiction. Now, it has been a part of common critical parlance to say that the Indian English women's writing is in ascendance. One aim of this bibliography is to illustrate this phenomenon and to emphasise the variety of writing. Writers included in the bibliography come from all over India and from the Indian diaspora all over the world. Another aim of this bibliography is to make us aware of the constructed nature of writerhood. A given writer's texts do not exist and circulate in a vacuum but in a context. We can see that Indian English women's writing is taking place. But, what we do not see is the critical establishment, that is, literary scholars and critics, taking much note of it."
