Off the Line: Transgression and Its Representation in Literature and Culture consists of twenty-four articles expressing the views and perspectives of scholars engaged in this field of study. An attempt has been made here to discern in the master narrative isolated cases of transgression that effects departure from the conventions and in the process creates new cultural and historical conjectures. This edited volume seeks to distinguish the different voices of transgression located in different cultural representations particularly literary text in an attempt to construct the identity of the individual and the changing scenario of the potential philosophical construct vis-à-vis an act of transgression which is the sine qua non that reproduces and undoubtedly produces it.
