Premchand in World Languages

This volume explores the reception of Premchands 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 works textuality and annexes new readership for the author) as well as representations of celluloid adaptations of Premchands 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.
