Family Quarrels: Towards a Criticism of Indian Writing in English (American University Studies) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Family Quarrels: Towards a Critisicm of Indian Writing in English is the first critical work that traces the history of the criticism of Indian writing in English in order to demonstrate the development of this literature as, a response to its criticism, and an imitation of western literary trends. In this effort, Family Quarrels, throws an entirely new light on the development of Indian Literature in English. The critical push towards finding a style that was at once both Indian and fashionably au courant compelled Indian writers to innovate stylistically. Both India's political background and sociolinguistic theories such as the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis led to such a criticism. Evaluations of previous critical perspectives show where they fail and point to the need for a new interpretive community. A «proper» criticism of Indian literature in English should take into consideration the language contact situation and the writers' context of situation.
