Description
"This book maps modern Indian literature, showing that it is neither the sum total of all its literary and linguistic traditions, nor a one-on-one comparative juxtaposition of single literary texts, but rather a spatial and temporal translation, raising questions of politics, circulation, language, gender, genre, aesthetics, and myths in local and world literatures. Beyond English: World Literature and India investigates five main areas to demonstrate these complex processes: Rabindranath Tagore's work and his Nobel Prize; the production and translation of the lyric poetry of Mahadevi Varma; the reception and linguistic play of the modern Indian novel in the global Anglophone world; the translation of a gendered subaltern in Mahasweta Devi's work; and the theme of frustrated love in cinema and literature in narratives such as "Lihaaf," Chemmeen, and The God of Small Things"--
