This collection of twenty essays dealing with a wide variety of authors and texts concentrates on the concept of self. The Indian philosophical concept of self is applied to Western as well as Indian literatures. Thus, British writers like Shakespeare, Aldons Huxley, Christopher Isherwood and American writers like Emerson, Toni Morrison, Gloria Naylor are discussed in this context. The works of Indian writers in English like Raja Rao and R. Parthasarathy and the Bengali writer Mahashweta Devi are analyzed. There are studies of all genres of literature like drama, poetry, fiction and non fiction. Contemporary critical concepts like existential and feminist approaches have been made to texts. Linking King Lear with Mahabharata. Hamlet with Arjuna, New Zealand poetry with Advaita Vedanta in a bilingual English-Sanskrit context has been attempted, thus making it an authentic Indian response. The supremacy of the Indian concept of self with 'S' capital establishes the Indian philosophical tradition from Adi Shankaracharya bringing it upto date with Ramana Maharshi.
