About The Book

Mulk Raj Anand is widely recognised as one of the most prominent English novelists in India. Translated into many languages both within India and abroad, he is universally acclaimed as a progressive writer.

This anthology of critical essays delves into Anand’s internationally reputed novels such as Untouchable, Coolie, Gauri and his various collections of short stories. The essays offer an innovative critical perspective, embracing the latest theories and schools of thought. They also provide unique insights into themes, characters as well as the form and design of the texts. Furthermore, a detailed interview with Anand facilitates a peep into the writer’s workshop, revealing hitherto unexplored facets of Anand’s artistic persona.

Considered a valuable addition to the field of fiction studies, The Novels of Mulk Raj Anand is an indispensable collection of essays for students, teachers, researchers and the general public seeking a deeper understanding on literary theory, fiction, Indian English literature, sociology of literature and progressivism.
