The Oxford History of the Novel in English is a 12-volume series
presenting a comprehensive, global, and up-to-date history of
English-language prose fiction and written by a large,
international team of scholars. The series is concerned with novels
as a whole, not just the 'literary' novel, and each volume includes
chapters on the processes of production, distribution, and
reception, and on popular fiction and the fictional sub-genres, as
well as outlining the work of major novelists, movements, and
tendencies. South and South East Asia has produced some of the most
dynamic, experimental, and commercially successful English-language
novels of the post-war period. This wide-ranging volume, which
comprises specially commissioned chapters from critics working in
the fields of postcolonial and global literature, covers key
authors, national traditions, and major themes and genres,
providing an unrivalled survey of the South and South East Asian
anglophone novel. The Oxford History of the Novel in English:
Volume 10. The Novel in South and South East Asia since 1945
employs a unique three-part structure covering South Asia, South
East Asia, and 'cross-border' fictions and is the first work of its
kind to provide a single comparative assessment of the novel across
South and South East Asia, and in migrant lines of travel in and
beyond these regions. Both an introduction and a scholarly
resource, it covers internationally recognized novelists but also
showcases forgotten, under-represented writers and their works. The
volume provides comprehensive survey chapters on individual
national traditions, comprising the anglophone novel of India,
Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Mainland China, Hong Kong, the
Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, and Myanmar. Its historical and
geographical reach takes in late colonial fictions, war-novels of
Korea and Vietnam, and autobiographical fictions of the Chinese
Cultural Revolution; its formal scope spans multi-volume historical
epics, political fictions, and graphic novels. The development of
the South and South East Asian novel in English is further
contextualized in chapters on publishing and book history, and new
forms of genre fiction, making this volume an invaluable resource
for students, researchers, and general readers.
