Edited by Rupayan Mukherjee and Jaydip Sarkaribidem PressISBN: 9783838216669May 2022This volume offers a selection of critical essays on texts that can be broadly categorized as popular literature. The essays are inclined to question the idea of ‘the Canon’ and re-consider the divide between the canonical and the popular. As such, besides engaging in a serious critical reading of typical popular literary texts like The Jungle Book and The Hound of the Baskervilles, the book also considers populist tendencies in literary classics like Jane Eyre and Frankenstein. It will be of interest to young scholars and readers of popular literature, science fiction, detective fiction, genre studies, and culture studies.
The book includes the chapter: Relocating the Classic as Popular: Reading Jane Eyre as a Romance by Madhuparna Mitra Guba and Rupayan Mukherjee.
