The Domain of the Novel: Reflections on Some Historical Definitions
discusses the genre of the novel and its dialogic and dialectical
characteristics through an in-depth analysis of some classic
English, Russian, American and Indian novels. A collection of
lectures by the distinguished scholar of literature, A. N. Kaul, it
analyses the exploration of personal voices and histories within a
larger socio-political landscape in these works. Drawing examples
from the works of Fielding, George Eliot, Dickens, Thackeray,
Melville, Hawthorne, Twain, R.K. Narayan and others, who defined
and redefined the territories of the novel, this book examines the
articulation of the lived social, political and material realities
of ordinary individuals in this genre. The lectures situate the
novels within their cultural, socio-political, and historical
contexts while focusing on their historical continuity and
relevance. They further demonstrate how the domain of the novel
brings together a multitude of voices while discussing conflicts of
class, identity, nationalism, and historiography. The volume
includes an insightful critical introduction by Sambudha Sen. It
will be of great interest to researchers and scholars of
literature, cultural studies, post-colonial studies, literary
theory, creative writing, history, and sociology. It will be
especially useful for readers interested in studying forms of
fiction and the 18th, 19th, and 20th century novel.
