Varia - Essays on Creative Literature

Varia - Essays on Creative Literature is a different sort of a book. It is like the presentation of a wholesome meal. Unlike it is in the cases of my books like, Michael: His English Literature and Essays on Anglo-Indian Literature, which are written on a single continuing subject, in the case of Varia, the signature point is variety. There are seven essays in this book.
Varia by Prof. Sujit Bose
Varia – Creative Literature
Varia collection of variety of essays on creative literature. The primary thesis is that, creative literature, specially fiction, has its antecedents in folk tales. It has been attempted to be shown that the first creative narrators, were the narrators of the folk tales. They were the first who used their creative imagination for the creation of tales for the dual purpose of the entertainment and the edification of their listeners. It is these simple folk tales that underwent development to result in the complexities of what we understand today as creative literature. In this essay an attempt has been made to analyse the various literary and extra-literary aspects of creative literature.
