The Oxford Handbook of Modern Indian Literatures, Gebunden

Klappentext

In forty-three chapters, The Oxford Handbook of Modern Indian Literatures presents Indian literature as inherently relational and comparative. Focusing on the multilingual richness of the field as constitutive of the idea of modern Indian literature, this volume features cutting-edge literary criticism on texts written in at least seventeen languages and in a range of modern literary genres. The Handbook shows the deep connections and collaborations across genre, language, nation, and region, which produce an array of literatures, mark out diverse contact zones, and engender innovations on form, technique, and literary aesthetics.
