1. This volume critically engages with narratives that have dealt
with pandemics/epidemics in the past and also in contemporary times
to see how these texts present human life coming to terms with and
trying to deal with all what pandemics/epidemics entail. 2. It
ranges from Camus' The Plague, the writings of Pandita Ramabai,
Mary Shelly, to Jack London, Lawrence Wright, and Christina Sweeney
Baird, among others. The essays cover a wide spatio-temporal
trajectory and make a substantial contribution to mapping the
contours of the pandemic in terms of psychology, economics,
society, politics and philosophy, thereby offering a variety of
perspectives and disciplinarian trajectories. 3. It will be of
interest to departments of English literature, social science,
gender studies, cultural studies, psychology, society, politics,
and philosophy across the US/UK. General readers too will find this
exciting as it covers authors from across the world.
