Literature and Culture

Sachidananda Mohanty (Author)

Synopsis The contemporary world is characterised by a widening gap between, mass civilisation and minority culture. Much of our public discourse paradoxically uses a language that is unintelligible and esoteric, clearly beyond the reach of the common reader. Literary journalism is either to simplistic or too dense. The critic is largely redundant to his/her cultural milieu. The present book brings together a set of essays on literature, culture and literary conversations that have appeared in some of the leading forums in the country. Straddling the many worldsâ€”from Cairo to Cambridge, from Sandra Gilbert to Sri Aurobindoâ€”the perspectives aim at the creation of a cultured community.
