Description:

Ludmila Volná atempts to explain the problems associated with identifying the literature written by Indian authors in the English language. Indian writing in English is most often classified as belonging to "postcolonial literature", a term generally used for a field of study that examines how literature deals with the departure of a society from its colonial past and the exploration of the common features of postcolonial societies, or to "new literatue in English", a term that allows the possibility of concentrating on the significant features of a singular culture. In the second part of her paper, Volná characterizes Indian anglophone writing, which includes drama, poetry, and fiction. Volná discusses fiction themes and style, and analyzes new narrative techniques and styles in the context of traditional "realistic" writing.
