Product Description

This anthology offers a curated collection of short stories, poetry, and life narratives designed for the Women’s Writing paper in the English (Hons.) curriculum under the National Education Policy (NEP) for undergraduate students. The poetry section features the works of Emily Dickinson, Sylvia Plath, and Eunice de Souza, while the prose section includes short stories by Charlotte Perkins Gilman and Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain. Additionally, the anthology presents extracts from Amar Jiban (1868) by Rashsundari Debi, representing the genre of life narratives. Each text is accompanied by an introductory essay that engages with key feminist scholarship, offering critical perspectives and interpretative frameworks for understanding the selected works. Annotations have been provided where necessary to enhance comprehension and critical engagement. The anthology also includes a carefully curated selection of critical essays following each text, aimed at deepening readers’ understanding of the thematic and theoretical dimensions of the works. The general introduction to the volume traces the evolution of literary criticism and the trajectory of women’s writing over time. A second introduction focuses on life narratives, addressing issues of gender and genre, exploring the modes and forms of women’s life writing, and highlighting the theoretical challenges inherent in studying this body of work.
