Recensioner i media

"Moving deftly across time (studying its history, analysing its present, and projecting its future), across space (its position in India and the UK), across generations (taking into consideration views from senior academics and young undergraduate students), and across domains of pertinence (from the classroom to the market), and across methods (historical, empirical, comparative), this amazing book charts the terrain of English studies in India in a way that one has not come across till now."– Saugata Bhaduri, Professor, Centre for English Studies, JNU, New Delhi“Reconsidering English Studies arrives as a welcome and timely addition to the still limited literature on English Studies (ES) in Indian Higher Education. Working within a remarkably dynamic, heterogeneous and complex landscape, it seeks to map out the historical as well as contemporary trajectories of ES.”- Usree Bhattacharya, Indiana University of Pennsylvania
