They are massive novels (respectively 500 and 1,000 pages long) written in the \u003ci\u003edevangar \u003c\/i\u003e(Sanskrit) script. They are examples of subaltern writing that do not exist, as a legitimation of the subaltern voice, anywhere else in the world. The novels constitute the silent underside of world literature, whose canon they silently challenge. For postcolonial, diaspora and subaltern scholars they are defining (indeed definitive) texts without which their theories remain incomplete. Theories require mastery of primary texts and these subaltern novels, 'heroic' compositions as they are in the vernacular, offer a challenge to the theorist. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47924917534878,"sku":"ING-9781839990700","price":159.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781839990700.jpg?v=1782955841","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781839990700","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
