EPUB
Description
Rural narratives after Premchand remained unnoticed because of not being written in English.
Rural India and Peasantry: Ethnography in stories after Premchand is a study of literary representation of rural life in a vast expanse of land designated as the Hindi Heartland.
What lends unique strength to this work is that after Premchand, fictional narrative has not really been dealt with such scholarly seriousness or contextualized in the socio-economic scenario of therural world and peasantry.
More than thirty stories discussed in ten chapters, inherit a strong tradition of peasant narratives since the times of Premchand, exposing the reader to an intricate array of messy complications and contingencies, the small peasantry and the rural world has experiencedsince the early decades of independent India through the period of liberalization till the recent decades.
Exploring non- canonical rural stories in Hindi, unfolds a spectrum of ethnic-cultural and psychological biographies about the evolving rural scenario in the democratic India of our times.
The substantial reference to concrete facts and data vindicate the realistic strain of the work.
It would set a new example of interdisciplinary scholarship and open up new vistas of further scholarship,especially in the Cultural studies.
The authentically translated excerpts, transcribe the spirit of rural India.
