The Making of Indian English Literature brings together seventeen
well-researched essays of Subhendu Mund with a long introduction by
the author historicising the development of the Indian writing in
English while exploring its identity among the many appellations
tagged to it. The volume demonstrates, contrary to popular
perceptions, that before the official introduction of English
education in India, Indians had already tried their hands in nearly
all forms of literature: poetry, fiction, drama, essay, bio graphy,
autobiography, book review, literary criticism and travel writing.
Besides translation activities, Indians had also started editing
and publish ing periodicals in English before 1835. Through
archival research the author brings to discussion a number of
unknown and less discussed texts which contributed to the
development of the genre. The work includes exclusive essays on
such early poets and writers as Kylas Chunder Dutt, Shoshee Chunder
Dutt, Toru Dutt, Mirza Moorad Alee Beg, Krupabai Satthianadhan,
Swami Vivekananda, H. Dutt, and Sita Chatterjee; and
historiographical studies on the various aspects of the genre. The
author also examines the strategies used by the early writers to
indianise the western language and the form of the novel. The
present volume also demonstrates how from the very beginning Indian
writing in English had a subtle nationalist agenda and created a
space for protest literature. The Making of Indian English
Literature will prove an invaluable addition to the studies in
Indian writing in English as a source of reference and motivation
for further research. Please note: Taylor & Francis does not
sell or distribute the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan,
Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
