Today, Indian writing in English is a fi eld of study that cannot be overlooked. Whereas at the turn of the 20th century, writers from India who chose to write in English were either unheeded or underrated, with time the literary world has been forced to recognize and accept their contribution to the corpus of world literatures in English. Showcasing the burgeoning field of Indian English writing, this encyclopedia documents the poets, novelists, essayists, and dramatists of Indian origin since the pre-independence era and their dedicated works. Written by internationally recognized scholars, this comprehensive reference book explores the history and development of Indian writers, their major contributions, and the critical reception accorded to them. The Routledge Encyclopedia of Indian Writing in English will be a valuable resource to students, teachers, and academics navigating the vast area of contemporary world literature.

Random Thoughts is a collection of fifteen essays in literary criticism, some revised, improved and reprinted, and others in print for the first time. These essays are the outcome of the author’s intensive reading and revaluation of a wide variety of Indian, British, African, Singaporean and Pakistani writers and their works in English. Ranging from William Shakespeare to Rabindranath Tagore, from Edward Said to Salman Rushdie, from Chinua Achebe to Edwin Thumboo, from Shiv K. Kumar to K. N. Daruwalla, from Shashi Deshpande to Cyrus Mistry, they are the evidence of exercises in critical intelligence. In addition, there are essays focused on the nature and function of transparency in autobiography, theoretical perceptions about the author-text relationship, Indian feminism, Indian English children’s literature, the Buddhist vision in English literature, and Pakistani poetry in English. The book, thus, addresses the works of different literary genres – poetry, fiction, drama, memoir, and translation – sensitively and with a freshness of approach. Since these writers mostly figure in the university syllabi in India and abroad, the book is a valuable contribution to the body of literary criticism, and is especially useful for students, teachers, researchers and readers with an interest in English literature.

A prince once gave up everything to attain inner peace, creating the world’s most treasured and well-known coming-of-age story: Siddhartha’s journey to Enlightenment; his transformation from a mere mortal to an enlightened soul. Join Siddhartha, the ‘brooding dove’, as he wins Yashodhara’s hand in marriage, challenges his father-in-law, celebrates with wine and festivities and then, to everyone’s surprise and consternation, renounces it all. Seeking the path of the wise, he lay the noble path for us. This is the story of how an ordinary mortal came to see the light. Aged ninety-two, Shiv K. Kumar injects the wisdom of a lifetime of writing into this immortal tale, fashioning the Buddha’s story into, possibly, each of our own.

The Present Book Is A Detailed Exposition Of The Multiple Dimensions Of Creativity In Men And Women Vis-À-Vis The Difference Of Sexuality And Gender As Mirrored In Their Texts. This Innovative And Perceptive Study Confronts The Essentialist Biodeterministic Standpoint That Men And Women Are Out And Out Different, Dissimilar And Divergent. By Discussing The Texts Of The Post-Independence Men And Women Poets Of India And Drawing Comparisons Between Them, It Asserts That, Despite Certain Biological Differences, Men And Women Are Similar In Many Ways. By Employing Theoretical Approaches Based On Psychoanalysis, Linguistics, Poetics, Reader-Responses And Cultural And Gender Studies, The Book Expounds That Gender Or Sexuality Can Make Some Difference To The Aesthetic But It Cannot Solely Determine The Content.

I have gone through Dr. Rajesh Latane and Dr. Shehjad Sidiquii book entitled, “Feminist Perspective in Githa Hariharan’s Novels”, the book consisted Seventh Chapters the first chapter presents. The rise and development of feminism has been sharply focused. Further, a brief profile of life and works of Githa Hariharan is also put forth. A round-up review of major novels crafted by Githa Hariharan is neatly presented. Besides, literary influence on Githa Hariharan has also been given. Second to sixth chapters writer deal with the feminist perspective of Githa Hariharan novels like in “The Thousand Faces of Night”, “The Ghosts of Vasu Master”, “When Dreams Travel”, “In Times of Siege” and “Fugitive Histories”. The author has also significantly pointed out Githa Hariharan’s use of myth, fable, parable, fantasy, tradition, modernity, etc. as fictional techniques in an effective way. Besides, the novelist’s discussion on “Women’s Issues” is vividly presented through the technique of third person narration. The book has really presented the novelist’s works affected by the “otherness” and “opposition”. The study also investigates Githa Hariharan’s use of meta-fiction, inter-text and magic realism – unique features of post-colonial novel just to bring the feminist discourse in the forefront. A book is really acknowledged when it become a source material for the future researchers and comparatives. Dr. Latane and Dr. Shehjad’s book has that potential. I heartily wish a good reception to the book.

Most urban people are familiar with the word Feminism, but the understanding of it remains vague and there is a general rejection of its relevance in the familial context. In reality, feminism wants you to be whoever you are but with a political consciousness. You want to be a feminist because you want to be exactly who you are. This book claims to be a complete guide regarding Feminism and its changing meanings. It tells you about the history of Feminism, theoretical perspectives on Feminism, various feminist theories like Liberal, Radical, Marxist, Psychoanalytical, Existential, Cultural, Lesbian, Eco, Post-Modern Feminism, Post-Feminism, Black-Feminism, French Feministic theory, etc. It also discusses some popular terms regarding Feminism Amazon Feminism, Moderate Feminism, Materialist, Pop, Gender Sex-Positive Feminism, Difference Feminism, Academic Feminism, etc. The major portion of this book presents some Feminists like Simon de Beauvoir, Kate Millett, Betty Friedan, Elain Showalter, Helen Cixous, Juliet Mitchell, Eli Zaretsky, etc. It also discusses some major books on feminist theories and issues.
