Scholarship in Indian literary studies tends to be divided along the lines of region, language, chronology, class, and caste. This book traverses and connects these contentious lines to examine some of the most influential literary texts to emerge from India in the last hundred years. It analyses literary expressions of intense emotionality-suffering, humiliation, creativity, and strife-while inhabiting the linkages between justice, speech, and affect.
