Description
The present book, comprising critical essays by eminent scholars, is a pioneering attempt at the critical evaluation of the novels of women novelists writing in English. An attempt has been made to study various aspects of leading women novelists writing in English. Indian women writers in English have made the most significant contribution in the field of the English novel. Indian novel has grown considerably in bulk variety, and maturity. The development of Indian novel follows certain definite patterns, and it is not difficult to trace its gradual progression from the imitative stage to the realistic to the Psychological to the experimental stage. However, the Feminist writers tried to stamp their authority in a male dominated environment as best as it is possible to them. It was a very difficult path, as the women had to break through years of male dominance, taboos and beliefs that had heavily impregnated the society. In addition, critics argued that colonialism operated very differently for women and for men.
The Indian women writers expressed the role and position of woman through their writings in English, have enlightened the literature with its quality and vividness. Truly, it represented the culture, history, and all the variants necessary for the enrichment of the literature worldwide. Traditionally, the work of Indian women writers has been undervalued due to patriarchal assumptions about the superior worth of male experience. One factor contributing to this prejudice is the fact that most of these women write about the enclosed domestic space, and women’s perceptions of their experience within it. Consequently, it is assumed that their work will automatically rank below the works of male writers who deal with ‘weightier’ themes. The book will be of great help to all those who wish to explore the fictional world of major Indian women novelists writing in English.
