Riassunto

"The present volume is a diptych volume and the first full-length study of Attia Hosain's work. Attia Hosain (1913-1998), is one of the earliest women writers of the Indian diaspora. R.K. Kaul explores the historical and literary aspects of her work contextualising her within the Indian, and more specifically the urdu, literary tradition while Jasbir Jain goes on. To open out her work in many different ways locating her within the topos of exile. Together the two sections reveal the hidden depths of Hosain's work and bring out not only its thematic richness, the partition theme, the dilemma of the Indian Muslim, the relationship with the raj, the dislocation of the aristocracy, but also the significance of space and of the cultural inheritance as it adapts and evolves."
