India has a rich literary assemblage produced by its many different
regional traditions, religious faiths, ethnic subcultures and
linguistic groups. The published literature of the 20th century is
a particularly interesting subject and is the focus of this book,
as it represents the provocative conjuncture of the transitions of
Indian modernity. This reference book surveys the major regional
literatures of contemporary India in the context of the country's
diversity and heterogeneity. Chapters are devoted to particular
regions, and the arrangement of the work invites comparisons of
literary traditions. Chapters provide extensive bibliographies of
primary works, thus documenting the creative achievement of
numerous contemporary Indian authors. Some chapters cite secondary
works as well, and the volume concludes with a list of general
works providing further information. An introductory essay
overviews theoretical concerns, ideological and aesthetic
considerations, developments in various genres, and the history of
publishing in regional literatures. The introduction provides a
context for approaching the chapters that follow, each of which is
devoted to the literature of a particular region. Each chapter
begins with a concise introductory section. The body of each
chapter is structured according to social and historical events,
literary forms, or broad descriptive or analytic trends, depending
on the particular subject matter. Each chapter then closes with an
extensive bibliography of primary works, thus documenting the rich
literary tradition of the region. Some chapters also cite secondary
sources as an aid to the reader. The final chapters of the book
address special topics, such as sub-cultural literatures, or the
interplay between literature and film. A list of additional sources
of general information concludes the volume.
