The Novel of India (Vol. 2): The Indo-Anglian
Novel (Calcutta: Writers Workshop, 1976).
This volume explores the influence of E. M. Forster's "A
Passage to India" on Anglo-Indian novels (or fiction written
in English by Indians). Several works by pioneers and popularizers
of the Indo-Anglian novel--Mulk Raj Anand, R. K. Narayan, Bhabani
Bhattacharya, Khushwant Singh, and Kamala Markandaya--are assessed.
A major section focuses on Raja Rao's Kanthapura and The
Serpent and the Rope. |

The
Novel of India: The Anglo-Indian Novel (vol. 1) (Calcutta:
Writers Workshop, 1975).
This
volume focuses on E. M. Forster's A Passage to India as
a touchstone for evaluating other Anglo-Indian novels (or British
novels of India) before and after the 1924 publication of the
Forster book. Five literary "problems" are explored in the
study of each novel: language, audience, point of view, characterization,
and East-West theme. Pre-Forster novels examined include works
by Meadows Taylor, Flora Annie Steel, Rudyard Kipling, and
Maud Diver. Post-Forster novels scrutinized include works by
George Orwell, Rumer Godden, and John Masters. |
