Intersectional Flows of Narratives, Geographies, and Histories

284 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This book establishes river fiction as an identifiable genre-fiction. It argues that rivers and riverbeds-through myths and legends, ecological and environmental concerns, geographical and historical realities, politics and economics around them-can provide an underlying framework to understand Indian prose fiction. With essays on river fiction across India, the volume presents a new way of understanding and reading South Asian literature. The volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of literature and literary criticism and South Asian studies.
