Description

This volume explores the reception of Premchand's works and his influence in the perception of India among Western cultures, especially Russian, German, French, Spanish and English. The essays in the collection also take a critical look at multiple translations of the same work (and examine how each new translation expands the work's textuality and annexes new readership for the author) as well as representations of celluloid adaptations of Premchand's works. An important intervention in the field of translation studies, this book will interest scholars and researchers of comparative literature, cultural studies and film studies. Pt. 1. Premchand in translations : surveys, histories, receptions -- pt. 2. Premchand on translation : formulations and praxis -- pt. 3. Premchand and cinematic adaptation : two stories -- pt. 4. Premchand's thematics.
