ABSTRACT

Mulk Raj Anand’s Coolie portrays the class distinction between the rich and the poor and also depicts the miserable condition, sad and pathetic life of Munoo, a young boy of the village Bilaspur. This is a human tragedy caused by the poverty, exploitation, hunger, selfishness, greed and cruelty. It is not the fate or Almighty who is responsible for the tragedy of Munoo, the hero of the novel, but it is the society in which he is brought-up. He is a victim of social forces in his life. He is like the hero of Galsworthy. He is the universal figure who represents the miseries and pathetic life of the poor and down-trodden. Social forces of exploitation and poverty determine the life of Munoo in the novel. The novel represents the Indian society.

ABSTRACT

Nadine Gordimer, a white South African novelist, driven by the urge of uninhibited courage to expose the dark side of Apartheid in her novels published A World of Strangers in 1958 when Apartheid was at its summit. The novel begins with the protagonist Toby Hood landing on the shores of South Africa from England as a representative of his family’s publishing company. With this novel Gordimer signals her development as a writer which definitely has resulted in a better understanding of the situation in South Africa for she has shifted the focus from the inner world to the more outer world in the present novel. It can be seen through Toby’s interaction and involvement with all the classes and races which is a more objective study of the South African society. Johannesburg, which was  exclusively a white city in the making in The Lying Days (1950) has evolved to become completely a white world in A World of Strangers, where whites and blacks are complete strangers to each other or so does Toby observes. It can be said that the problem of apartheid in this novel is conceived at a social level and has been attempted to be solved at a social level which makes this text fall in the category of liberal humanism albeit in its last days in the novels of Gordimer.

ABSTRACT

Elaine Showalter feministic criticism is a landmark in the history of English literature. She with her feministic criticism lays the foundation for the rights of the women in her novels. She views the novels and criticism in a broader way by the representation of women’s condition within literature in the first and second waves of feminism. Literary criticism is informed by feminist theory or by the politics of feminism .The language, the, economic, political and psychological forces with an insight to literature. The classic works of 19^th century women authors such as George Eliot and Margaret Fuller with their chief works in women’s studies by third wave authors mark their broad and varied representation of women’s condition within literature in the first and second waves of feminism. Feministic Criticism is concerned with the exclusion of women from the literary Canon. Lois Tyson relates the reason for this to be that the views of women authors have often not been considered to be universal ones.
