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 – 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.
