This is the seventeenth volume in the series, Studies in Literature in English. The twenty-one essays in this volume cover a broad spectrum including British canonical authors from different eras like Milton, Keats, Arnold and Auden, as well as new wave science fiction writers like J.G. Ballard, while a look at a non-British European master, Hermann Hesse, adds a new strand to the collection. Furthermore, there are essays addressing a powerful mainstream American writer like Hemingway, as also the eminent, black American author Toni Morrison.

Apart from this, we have six essays on Indian authors, or authors of Indian origin, one comprehensive overview of the recent trends and concepts in the domain of comparative literature, and four theory-oriented discourses relating to I.A. Richards, modernism, deconstruction/intertextuality and globalization respectively.

The studies are as insightful and interesting as they are topical. It is fascinating to see how effectively the scholars, in their in-depth critical studies of the authors and texts from the varied range across lands, ages and cultures use modern ideas and perceptions. The volume shall be useful to the students and teachers of English literature, as well as researchers in this field.
