This volume forms a part of the Critical Discourses in South Asia
series which deals with schools, movements and discursive practices
in major South Asian languages. It offers crucial insights into the
making of the Punjabi language and literature, and its critical
tradition across a century. The book brings together English
translation of major writings of influential figures dealing with
literary criticism and theory, aesthetic and performative
traditions and re-interpretations of primary concepts and
categories in Punjabi. It presents 30 key texts in literary and
cultural studies from Punjab from the beginning of development of
Punjabi language to its present form, with most of them translated
for the first time into English. These seminal essays cover
interconnections with socio-historical events in the medieval,
colonial and post-independence period in Punjab. They discuss
themes such as spiritual and aesthetic visions, poetic and literary
forms, modernism, progressivism, feminism, Dalit literature, power
structures and social struggles, ideological values, cultural
renovations, and humanism. Comprehensive and authoritative, this
volume offers an overview of the history of critical thought in
Punjabi literature in South Asia. It will be essential for scholars
and researchers of Punjabi language and literature, literary
criticism, literary theory, comparative literature, Indian
literature, cultural studies, art and aesthetics, performance
studies, history, sociology, regional studies and South Asian
studies. It will also interest the Punjabi-speaking diaspora and
those working on the intellectual history of Punjab and
conservation of languages and culture.
