Explanation:
I was pleasantly surprised when early on a winter
morning in December, 2012, Dr. Binod Mishra, Editor-inChief of the IJES telephoned me to inform that I had been
appointed the president of the next All India English Teachers
Conference and wished to know if I accepted the
appointment. I gladly and gratefully accepted the offer and
promised to attend the conference to deliver my Presidential
Address. I must confess that I feel greatly honoured by this
gesture from the office-bearers of the AESI and thank them
all for appointing me the president in absentia.
I have chosen to speak on “Literary Criticism in India”
as I believe that the study of literature is incomplete without
a proper understanding of literary theory and criticism. In
the absence of this knowledge our response to literature will
be subjective, not critical. A lot of water has flowed under
the bridge since Plato and Aristole, our early critics of
literature who evolved their theories out of the existing
literature with the help of the philosophical training that
they had. But the situation today is very different. Literature
has undergone significant mutations and literary theory and
criticism has become much more complex. We need to be
familiar with both to be able to respond as mature readers.
