ABOUT THE BOOK:-

Since Simone de Beauvoir first proclaimed,"One is not born a woman,one becomes one," the study of gender has become one of the most significant disciplines in the Humanities and Social Sciences.Enriching our knowledge of the repesentations that inform our understanding of Masculinity, Femininity and Queerity,the book examines among many other things,the meaning and relevance of gender on various levels.The book will attempt to establish a central argument that will enable the readers to see an emerging pattern in which issues of Masculinity, Femininity and Queerity could  be examined,thus providing a multifaceted approach to the central question of the way in which Gender is being represented in the literary works of the Indian Novelists.This multilayered book lucidly written and theoretically exhilerating,will be an invaluable addition for students and academics in gender studies,literature,cultural studies and a range of other disciplines.
