Indian Literature in English incorporates Indian themes and experience in a framework that is a blend of Indian and Western aesthetics. This often confronts creative writers with a series of difficult choices. Involved in an intractable tight rope walking, how the literatures respond to the exacting requirement of making their experience fit an a priori mould is sought to be examined in the present Volume of this anthology. Aiming to capture in all its complex nuances the distinctive identity of Indian English Literature — as darshan and as a formal artistic construct — against the background of the particular problems confronting the creative writers, the collection includes critiques of the foremost as well as the latest works of a number of writers — Tagore, Sri Aurobindo, Jayant Mahapatra, Mulk Raj Anand, R.K. Narayan, Bhabani Bhattacharya, Manohar Malgonkar, Kamala Markandaya, Ruth Prawer Jhabwala, Anita Desai, Arun Joshi, Namita Gokhale, Malayatoor Ramakrishanan and Makarand Paranjape. Affording fresh perspectives on popular works, facilitating a through revision of cliched readings, and incisive studies of recent works, the present Volume steers Indian English critical practice to a new direction.
