The book explores the dramatic transformation of English Studies in India since the early 1990s, moving from British literature to multilingualism, culture, performance, theory, and the literary Global South. It discusses key themes such as Indian literary history, postcolonial theory, post-pandemic challenges, Indian English drama, vernacular literature, feminist translations, caste, and othering in literature. Contributions from eminent scholars reflect the altered terrain and invite readers to consider the transformative potential of the present juncture for literary imagination and studies.

Since the early 1990s, English Studies in India has undergone a remarkable transformation, embracing a diverse range of genres and approaches. This multi-genre collection of chapters showcases the shift from a primarily British literature and language-focused approach to a more versatile terrain that encompasses multilingualism, culture, performance, theory, and the literary Global South. Tracing this transition, the volume delves into various themes, including Indian literary history, postcolonial theory, post-pandemic challenges to literary studies, the state of Indian English drama, vernacular literature in English Studies, pedagogy, translations of feminist writers from South Asia, caste, and othering in literature, among others.

Contributions from esteemed English Studies scholars in the book not only reflect the altered terrain of English Language and Literature in India but also invite readers to contemplate the transformative potential of the present juncture for both literary imagination and literary studies.

This timely book, in honor of Professor GJV Prasad, will appeal to scholars and researchers in English Studies, cultural studies, literature, comparative literature, translation studies, postcolonial studies, and critical theory. It offers valuable insights into the evolving landscape of English Studies in India and its broader implications for the field.
