Focused upon Indian and western critical theories in their complementary paradigms, these essays cover a wide range of problematics. Among the various aspects of Indian theory and praxis are included discussions on the politics of postcolonial discourse, the production and dissemination of comparative literary theory, the nature and typology of contemporary Indian drama, the history and changing direction of English studies in India, the problems of literary translation and transcreation, and the emergence of third world theories with particular emphasis on nativism and gender studies. The Western theory is examined through deconstruction, psychoanalysis, ethnicity and Black literary theory, the prevalence of metaphor in contemporary criticism, Bakhtin's contributions to the study of the autobiographical self, and the nature of children's literature as perceived by adults.
