Perspectives on Indian English Literature (Hardbound - 2002)

Perspectives on Indian English Literature are too vast and varied to be completely evaluated between the covers of a single book. The present volume is a modest contribution to explore this area through a vast cross-section of scholars and academicians from different universities of the country. Apart from its critical and academic importance, the present volume would also help the students, teachers, researchers and scholars to know India through the broadened perspectives profferred through English language.
