Author: M K NaikShyamala A Narayan/Publisher: Pencraft InternationalYear: 2001Language: EnglishPages: 304ISBN/UPC (if available): 818575344X DescriptionThis Volume surveys the astonishing flowering of Indian Writing in English during the last two decades. After a brief but trenchant analysis of the milieu, it examines the literary productions in the genres of fiction, poetry, drama and non-fictional prose. The range of this study is comprehensive, almost encyclopedic, the style lively and jargon-free, and the critical enquiry perceptive and succinct, followed by an exhaustive bibliography of secondary sources.A sequel to 'A History of Indian English Literature' by M K Naik, this study is jointly authored by him and Shyamala A Narayan. It should hopefully prove as indispensable to both scholars and common readers of Indian Writing in English as did its widely acclaimed predecessor.
