It delves into the complexities of multilingualism, postcolonial and world literature, the role of translation in shaping the Indian literary canon, and the engagement of Indian authors with the public sphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe collection features essays that cover a wide range of topics such as political activism in the North-East Tribal novel, the role of work in contemporary Indian fiction, and the historical reconception through the eyes of the renowned Hindi author Krishna Sobti. The book also explores Bombay fictions, the global reach of Dalit autobiographies, and the intersections of development, ecocriticism, and activism in literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther key themes discussed include casteism and access to literacy in South India, the role of gender and diaspora in literature, and how these elements impact the subcontinent's literary output. By challenging Eurocentric genre distinctions and separating the citizen from the subject, the collection proposes a fresh reading method for Indian texts that moves beyond traditional postcolonial interpretations of \"national allegories.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eContents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction: Indian Literature and the World\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRossella Ciocca and Neelam Srivastava\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart I: Comparing Multilingual Perspectives\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre-Nation and Post-Colony: 1947 in \u003cem\u003eMy Temples, Too\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eMidnight’s Children\u003c\/em\u003e - Rajeswari Sunder Rajan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReading Together: Hindi, Urdu, and English Village Novels - Francesca Orsini\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoosing a Tongue, Choosing a Form: Kamala Das’s Bilingual Algorithms - Udaya Kumar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart II: Enlarging the World Literary Canon: New Voices and Translation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Multiple Addressivity: Indian Subaltern Autobiographies and the Role of Translation - Neelam Srivastava\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Modern Tamil Novel: Changing Identities and Transformations - Lakshmi Holmström\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Voices of Krishna Sobti in the Polyphonic Canon of Indian Literature - Stefania Cavaliere\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart III: Globalized Indian Public Spheres\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResisting Slow Violence: Writing, Activism, and Environmentalism - Alessandra Marino\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Novel and the North-East: Indigenous Narratives in Indian Literatures - Mara Matta\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom Nation to World: Bombay\/Mumbai Fictions and the Urban Public Sphere - Rossella Ciocca\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Individual and the Collective in Contemporary India: \u003cem\u003eHome\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eCustody\u003c\/em\u003e by Manju Kapur - Maryam Mirza\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘Home is a Place You’ve Never Been to’: A Woman’s Place in the Indian Diasporic Novel - Clelia Clini\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Authors\/Editors\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRossella Ciocca\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Professor of English and Anglophone Literatures at the University of Naples “l'Orientale,” Italy.
