RIGHT SOURCE OF STUDY MATERIAL
A multitalented personality who has been associated with 7 international research journals as a member of editorial board, has written 35 research papers and articles, has conducted seminars for students in association with reputed print media houses like 'INDIAN EXPRESS AND THE TIMES OF INDIA'.
Talking about the book CONTEMPORARY CRITICS AND CRITICAL THEORIES, this book is a second edition and it comprises various critical theories and theorists. This book is a revised edition of contemporary criticism.
It is a book of 43 chapters comprising Decolonization, Structuralism, Postmodernism, Post-Colonialism Russian Formalism, Marxist Criticism, Feminism and Contribution of Various Philosophers to Feminism Etc. Dr. Dushyant have discussed all major critical theories in this book including the Post-Colonial, Post Structuralist, Feminist, And Other Contemporary Theories.
This is a very helpful book for all the students who are basically into the preparation of Net or who are willing to go for PHd in the subject of English Literature.
What I learned through this book:
👉How self-knowledge can supply the courage to fight for happiness, as there is no guarantee of happiness. One has to be aware of his/her self-knowledge to find the way to happiness.
👉THEORY OF T.S ELIOT: says that a new work has to be judged by the standards of the past but this does not mean applying old, outdated cannons to a new work.
👉4 ways in which the knowledge of psychology may help us in the criticism of literature.
👉Stylistic analysis (by H.K. WIDDOWSON), which attempts to close reading of a text to realize how the aesthetic response of traditional critical intention comes about.
👉 How the deconstruction exposes historical constraints within the whole history of philosophy that have been practiced at the price of contradictions, denials, and dogmatic decrees.
👉Women’s are not born 'feminine' but are shaped by thousands of external processes- illustrated in the theory of most prominent feminist philosophers of 20th century SIMONE DE BEAUVOIR.
Language used is very easy to understand, whereas I found some critical words which then I found the meaning of them at the last pages of this book under the heading 'Critical Concept and Terms’
I, being a Research Scholar, found this book very useful as it helped me a lot to expand my knowledge and this book will help you to accommodate and assimilate your learnings too.
I would like to suggest this book to all the readers specially who are NET aspirants or who are pursuing M.A/M.Phil. (English literature)
