The Making of Indian English Literature is a comprehensive collection of seventeen well-researched essays by Subhendu Mund, accompanied by a lengthy introduction by the author that provides historical context to the development of Indian writing in English while exploring its identity within various appellations. The volume challenges common misconceptions by revealing that Indians had already engaged in diverse literary forms, including poetry, fiction, drama, essay, biography, autobiography, book review, literary criticism, and travel writing, prior to the official introduction of English education in India. Additionally, Indians had already begun translation activities and editing and publishing periodicals in English before 1835. Through extensive archival research, the author introduces numerous unknown and lesser-discussed texts that played a significant role in the evolution of the genre. The book includes exclusive essays on early poets and writers such as Kylas Chunder Dutt, Shoshee Chunder Dutt, Toru Dutt, Mirza Moorad Alee Beg, Krupabai Satthianadhan, Swami Vivekananda, H. Dutt, and Sita Chatterjee, as well as historiographical studies on various aspects of the genre.
