Freedom and Beef Steaks English 2022

Freedom and beef steaks explores path-breaking debates to do with the literary, with identity, and with cultural authenticity in nineteenth-century Calcutta--- debates arising from the flux of creative and critical work in that period. The seven essays collected in this book range across a diverse field of interests that have been, so far, under-researched. Crucial to our understanding of the making of modern Indian culture in a particular location, these are issues that uncover the complexity of the postcolonial field and further extend its scope. Chapter on certain subalternist historians˜ (mis)readings of Tagore, the author investigates the place of the relation of history and literature in history-writing today.
