Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2321 The starting premise of this course is that the English language and its literary traditions hybridize into rich and strange forms when thrown into contact with regional cultures, myths, and aesthetic practices in the many parts of the world that were once British colonies. This course will trace the English literary tradition in South Asia beginning with responses to the colonial encounter, moving on to the role played by literature during decolonization, and ending with the ways poetry, novels, and plays engage the challenges of nationalism and, more recently, globalization. Writers we read will include Anita Desai, Salman Rushdie, Rokeya Hossain, Michael Ondaatje, Lalithambika Antherjanam, Nessim Ezekiel, Kamila Shamsie, and Amitav Ghosh.
