Book summary:
The Novel in Nineteenth-Century Bengal examines the emergence and development of the novel as a literary form in Bengal during the nineteenth century, a period marked by profound social, cultural, and intellectual change. Sunayani Bhattacharya explores how early Bengali novelists adapted the European novel to local contexts, using fiction to engage with issues such as colonial modernity, social reform, gender relations, nationalism, and changing ideas of selfhood. The book analyzes key texts and authors while situating them within the broader framework of the Bengal Renaissance, showing how the novel became a powerful medium for negotiating tradition and modernity in colonial India.

About the author:

Her research focuses on the intersections of literature, culture, and society, particularly in the context of Bengal and the colonial period. Through her scholarly work, Bhattacharya contributes to a deeper understanding of how modern literary forms evolved in India and how literature responded to social and historical transformations.
