Summary, etc Exploring a huge variety of texts written in English from India and Canada, the eighteen essays contained in the present anthology belong to current debates on the scope and methodology of comparative literary and cultural studies. These essays speculate on their interrelatedness as they consider them in New combinations from different critical angles. Although the emphasis is mainly on feminine/feminist perspectives and on women writers, some male writers—most notably Sri Aurobindo and Amitav ghosh—have also been studied in the anthology. There are essays on fiction and non-fiction including novels, memoirs, autobiographies, short stories, cultural criticism, author interviews, as also essays on poetry—both Indian and Canadian. Authors frequently cited are Deshpande, Desai, Das, mark an day a from India, and Atwood, kogawa, Laurence, Munro and first nations women writers from Canada. In addition, there are some thought-provoking comparative studies across historical periods and references to literary critics, cultural historians, Indian and Western theorists, which raise challenging questions about the appropriateness of uncritically applying Western feminist and postcolonial theories to readings of some Indian women’s fiction or to first nations women’s poetry. Besides, some essays deal with gender issues—women’s spaces, women’s bodies and violence against them, women’s silences and their struggle to voice their subjective experiences, women’s quest for identity, and women’s relation to nature and tradition. Quilting relationships is remarkably an original collection exploring new angles of interpretations and speculations that construct new and exciting theoretical perspectives. It will definitely serve as a guiding spirit for scholars and researchers of English literature, particularly those who want to examine new methods of approaching literary texts, thereby making the book an exciting, interesting and motivating venture.
