The book Critical Essays on Post-Colonial Literature attempts to analyze Postcolonial poetry, Caribbean poetry, Indian english poetry, Canadian fiction, Indian english fiction, short-story, and drama. It deals with the question of identity of emigrant writers across the globe. Some of the outstanding Postcolonial writers and Indian english writers like Nobel Laureate, Derek Walcott; Booker Laureates, Arundhati Roy, Margaret Atwood, and Yann Martel; Commonwealth Prize winners, Vikram Chandra and Manju Kapur; and a host of Sahitya Akademi Award winners like Nissim Ezekiel, Jayanta Mahapatra, Kamala Das, A.K. Ramanujan, Shiv K. Kumar, Keki N. Daruwalla, Anita Desai, Shashi Deshpande, and Ruskin Bond, have been discussed with insight and precision. Above all, the book brings out the perspectives of Postcolonial studies across the globe. Chapters 26-29: “Multi-Theoretical Approaches to Five Seminal Twentieth Century Novels Across the World”, “Reconfiguring Partition Narratives in Three Select Indian English Novels”, “Two Centuries of Indian English Poetry: The Making of a Canon” and Shashi Tharoor’s, “An Era of Darkness: A Journey from Colonialism to Postcolonialism” are the new additions to the book along with an updated Bibliography. This is an advanced researched and useful book for teachers, students, and researchers of our country and abroad.
