This volume offers a selection of critical essays on texts that can be broadly categorized as popular literature. The essays are inclined to question the idea of ‘the Canon’ and re-consider the divide between the canonical and the popular. As such, besides engaging in a serious critical reading of typical popular literary texts like ‘The Jungle Book’ and ‘The Hound of the Baskervilles’, the book also considers populist tendencies in literary classics like ‘Jane Eyre’ and ‘Frankenstein’. It will be of interest to young scholars and readers of popular literature, science fiction, detective fiction, genre studies, and culture studies.
The volume’s contributors are: Anisha Ghosh, Arnab Dasgupta, Goutam Karmakar, Jaya Sarkar, Jaydip Sarkar, Madhuparna Mitra Guha, Mandika Sinha, Mitarik Barma, Pinaki Roy, Puja Chakraborty, Rajadipta Roy, Rupayan Mukherjee, Shirsendu Mandal, Shubham Dey.
