Contemporary Literary Perspectives

Introduction

Speaking of Shakespeare’s plays, Samuel Johnson had said that great literature transcends time and place. The Victorian poet, Mathew Arnold opined that great writers are humanists, in that they are the vanguard of human culture and civilization. Great classics refine human sensibility by spreading sweetness and light. Literary theorists, critical thinkers and creative writers; male, female, white, black, straight or gay, from Michel Foucault to Judith Butler or Gloria Naylor, all provide radical ideas and interpretations into the cultural binaries that our society has got wedged in. These thinkers offer us a fair idea of the mechanics of socio-political change that are at work to shape the human society. The emergent consciousness strives to deconstruct and make sense of the contemporary society.

This volume endeavours to record the pulse of literary enthusiasts and contemporary researchers by offering a platform to their free and independent, as well as critical and creative thoughts. The articles in this volume cover various genres of literature, taking into its stride, papers on gender studies, ecocriticism, diasporic studies etc. The book will hopefully provide value to scholars of literature and encourage young researchers, whose voices most often go unheard in the melee of serious deliberations made by seasoned scholars.

We sincerely hope the views of these scholar critics will resonate with all of you.

This is only a brief introduction to the volume Contemporary Literary Perspectives. There are seventy-seven articles included in this volume.
