Premchand in World Languages

The essays in the volume endeavour to look at Premchand’s reception in Russian, German, French, Spanish and English. It brings special insights into the different ways, in which an iconic Indian writer influenced perception about Indian culture and literature abroad. It is a landmark volume that goes into the heart of the theory and practice of reception and translation.

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.
