The contest gave the Indian reading publics their first taste of a struggle conducted from within the confines of the law, introduced vocabularies for conceiving counter-discursivity and defined the press and the government as distinct and opposed communities.

The Mahatma Misunderstood: The Politics and Forms of Literary Nationalism in India
ISBN: 9780857285119 / Angielski / Twarda / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "The Mahatma Misunderstood" studies the relationship between the production of novels in late-colonial India and nationalist agitation promoted by the Indian National Congress. The volume examines the process by which novelists who were critically engaged with Gandhian nationalism, and who saw both the potentials and the pitfalls of Gandhian political strategies, came to be seen as the Mahatma's standard-bearers rather than his loyal opposition. In doing so, the volume challenges the orthodoxy in postcolonial and subaltern studies which contends that nationalists and nationalisms...

The bard from Bengal, Rabindranath Tagore's poetry has furnished poetic answers to many a human dilemma and questioning. The poet had wondered if his poetry would be read a hundred years after him. Now after his 150th year, we realise that they appeal to us in today's world as much as they ever did. Literary critics outside of Bengal have not paid much attention to his best works despite his distinction of being the first Asian Nobel Laureate in Literature. Judged by a slim volume of a 103 songs in prose translation that hardly do justice to his profound poetry, the prolific writer of more...

The Oxford Studies in Postcolonial Literatures series offers stimulating and accessible introductions to definitive topics and key genres and regions within the rapidly diversifying field of postcolonial literary studies in English.
