Description
This volume examines a distinct poetic paradigm within the framework of tradition to explore an alternative mainstream in Indian English poetry. It establishes poetic canons derived from Indian philosophy, epistemology, legend, myth, and history. To illustrate how the seminal Indian tradition is brought into being with high seriousness and contemporary relevance, the study extensively discusses the works of Charu Sheel Singh, Niranjan Mohanty, and Bibhu Padhi. Furthermore, the book traces the historical trajectory of Indian English poetry and critically examines the constituting factors of its current mainstream. It emphasizes the vital need for literary culture to highlight narratives rooted in the circumlocutory structures of the Puranas as well as the epical traditions of the Vedas and Upanishads. Authored by Dr. Indrajeet Mishra, the book contributes to the discourse on Indian English poetry and literary theory by re-centering native traditions and classical philosophical frameworks within modern poetic expression.
