This volume is a collection of scholarly papers that explore the
complex issues concerning English Studies in the present Indian
context. The discussions in this volume range from historical
perspectives to classroom-specific pedagogies, from sociological
and political hierarchies to the dynamics of intellectual
development in the English language environment. Interrogating both
policy and practice pertaining to English Studies in the context of
Indian society, culture, history, literature and governance, the
chapters seek to formulate contemporary perspectives to these
debates and envision alternative possibilities. Since the
introduction of English to India more than 2 centuries ago, the
language has transmuted the very fabric of Indian society, culture,
history, literature and governance. The idea of India cannot be
conceived in its entirety without taking into consideration the
epistemological role that English has played in its formation. The
present globalized world order has added dimensions to English
Studies which are radically different from those of India's
colonial and postcolonial past. It is therefore imperative that the
multitudinous shades and shadows of the discipline be re-examined
with inputs drawn from the present context. This volume is for
scholars and researchers of English literature and language
studies, linguistics, and culture studies, and others interested in
exploring new paradigms of engagement with the disciplinary
formulation of English Studies in India.
